The volume control on my beloved '83 Spoiler has Always been a bit problematic... Very loose and if its fully open it sometimes cuts the signal completely when you touch it... Can I replace it with a newer one? I have some spares, but will have to widen the hole in the body. This is the old one:  This is one of my spares:  If it can be done: The new ones have two "legs" that also are soldered to the board, the original doesn't have those. I assume these can be clipped? (they're only there to provide extra strength?) | ||

Just checked the spare parts drawer - I have one of the old type, but it rotates freely.  | ||

Thanx Adriaan & Mica! :-) Just turned off the soldering iron, glad to report full control of volume is regained :-) Here you can see the new knob:   (nothing to see from the outside, but its always good to have an excuse for posting a picture) Now all the babies are winter-ready  |
