Hey all --

I have one of these Goodrich h10k pedals and really wanna start using it, but the string came off the pot shaft when it shipped (bought it used). it's still attached at both ends, but i think it's off of that little set screw on the shaft itself

can anyone post a pic and/or advice on getting it wrapped on there correctly? and how to set the on/off positions?

thanks in advance!
mike

yeah - that diagram pretty much worked. the tricky part was getting it to turn all the way off. also, i'm a little concerned about the string staying where i set it -- we'll see how it holds.

thanks again,
mike

The way I got mine right was to tighten the string with the pedal all the way up then again with it all the way down.

bleh - i got through about 2 tunes at rehearsal (during which i was really liking the sound of the pedal) and the thing unwound enough so that i wasn't getting it to turn full 'off'.


what a pain.

Mike--after I messed around in a 120 a while ago, I had slippage problems after I'd put it back together 'properly' (I thought). I had to go back in and do it a couple more times before I fixed it permanently enough that it has been fine for a couple of years. See if these photos are of any help:
