GodBlessTexas Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I've seen exactly what you're describing due to a busted pot. No matter where it was turned, the pot always passed along the signal and it was full of static. Try to determine which volume pot it is and either clean it or replace it. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gripper Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I quit trying to clean pots because of the finish damage I was doing and the fact that a bad pot is a bad pot. My biggest mistake is getting them too hot when soldering to them. I have ruined three or four nice switches and pots because I thought more was better. If you paided yourself $4.00 an hour for your labor the cost of a new pot would be gone on the first re-repair. Could that be because I work so slow? Yes! Slow ROCKS!
