Pots tight
« on: June 09, 2010, 08:36:20 pm »
I have a reissue Ampeg J20 all the pots are tight when turning. I don't play the amp much but don't remember them being this tight.

Any fix?

dude
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Caig DeoxIT?
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!
