Yes, I think we're saying the same thing, Florian.  Adapting to the 
Jupiter 4 is basically a no-go.

With the RS-505, the 1, 2, and 3 pins are in the same configuration, and 
though they don't line up with the holes, they are close enough (I 
think) to bend and route them through the correct holes.  Same with the 
mounting lugs - bend them a couple of mm outward, and I think they will 
match up then.  I haven't tried it - the service manuals is all I have 
to go on.  But it looks to me like it could be done.  Not at all a 
'perfect' solution, but much better than a non-working pot!
