Over the past week the nut and washer ( I think that is what they are called ) has been loose. So just like any other problem like this, I thought I needed to remove the knob to tighten it. Well... I pulled up and guess what happens. The volume knob came off all right, but so did the thing that you put the knob on with the 1 inch little metal piece attached to it. Im really sorry if I can't explain it very well, If all else fails I can make a video with my phone to show you what I am talking about. Now, Nothing appears to have broken. I tried to put it back in but it wouldn't work. Is there a easy way to fix this or Am I screwed?

Sir Stoney

I have a video recorded in case someone needs to see what I am talking about.

Yeah, sounds like a replacement is in order...


Which in all honesty IS an 'easy fix'.

I am broke though, I don't have the money to replace a pot. I did figure out what it is called, the "shaft" pulled out, and the little rectangular piece at the end is still intact. I can put the knob back in, but it is stuck on the single coil. When I pull up it comes out really easy. Sometimes I hate my life,

Pots cost next to nothing. I've eaten sandwiches that cost more than a new push-pull pot does. Unless you're in a position where you can't afford to buy food, i.e. homeless, you can afford to replace one pot.

I know the pot itself is maybe 10 bucks, but the labor to replace it is rediculous. In Nashville, the tech was wanting to charge 40$ for the labor of replacing a tone pot. I really don't have $50, $30 is the most Id go.
