Oahu Tonemaster - tone pot replacement help

Post by Liz Williams »

Played the Oahu Tonemaster I'm selling one more time before packing it up and I'm so glad I did: The tone pot no longer changes the tone. :( When I took a look at it, the pot was pretty corroded, and the nut that fastens it in place was slightly rusty.

My questions: Can the pot be repaired? Can it be replaced without altering the (vintage) tone of the instrument? If it needs to be replaced, what kind of pot do I need and what sort of cap?

I read the recent thread on the Tonemaster volume pot; is the tone pot the same?

Thank you for your help.
