Tempest Pot Replacement

[CliffordMilk]

Has anyone replaced potentiometers on their Tempest? The volume pot is getting sketchy. If so, is everything reasonably accessible?

If you’re new to replacing electronic parts, especially desoldering, it’s a good idea to ask for help from someone who knows what they’re doing. Otherwise, you might end up damaging your board and making it impossible to fix.

@Yorgos What did you do to fix it? Did you replace the board or send it to Sequential?
I’m cautious with expensive gear, even with the tools and knowledge I have.

Just found a technician near me who can solder and just changed the pots..
