has anyone done it?

If so, which pot did they use and was it straightforward or difficult?

Thanks in advance

I haven't replaced a pot yet, but I did strip my Momo down. The pot's
pretty easy to get to. The hardest thing would be finding a suitable
replacement I'd guess.

I.e. it's a special type of pot?

Small flap plastic square (15mm). I've seen this type in my Sidewinder
Dual Strike.

Was it difficult to take the unit apart?  I'd love to paint my wheel
housing something other than red, but I don't want to damage the wheel
in the process...

They don't stock spare parts.

I thought there was a federal law that required manufacturers/sellers of
goods in the US to provide replacement parts for 7 years past the EOL of the
device.

I thought this was industry-wide.

what, their factory somewhere in the far east, that until recently was
making the momo but is now making 'My Little Pony Jimcana' sets?

Tell you what, Dave, you phone 'em, make a noise, and show us the proof.
