I fukked up a pot

[fett]

I am pissed. I was trying to put new knobs on that Evans pickguard I have. It was a dual pot. Well, I pressed so hard that I fucked up the shaft. As in, it just spins. Let that be a lesson.

Those pots come apart...
Take a look and see if you can fix it.
If not ... they're pretty cheap to replace.

A little less Viking god like strength there fett.

If you had to push that hard, the knob wasn't meant to go on there.

Now you tell me.:ROTF:

Don't feel bad fett,
That Kramer Pacer I spent 2 hours rewiring/replacing pickups on a couple of weeks ago had a loose volume pot, so I tried to separate the little gap that's supposed to give it tension when you put the knob on and *BINK* one side of it broke right off.
Damn pot metal!!!
Didn't feel like de-soldering and replacing the damn thing, so I super-glued a little piece of a pick to the good side that was still there, then superglued the the broken side to that, then installed the knob so that the setscrew would hold it all together.
hehe
Now only I know about it.

Ermmm, wait a second... dammit!

Where's that backspace key?
