Don't over tighten, it may distort or cause the potentiometer's case be out of shape which can cause problems inside the variable potentiometer.

The knob may have a screw in the side of it and if not you need to pry it off gently. A spoon works good for doing that as it works like a rocking pry bar.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Nils https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/my-volume-knob-is-loose-please-help/#post-67987 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/my-volume-knob-is-loose-please-help/#post-3540 Sat, 04 Sep 2004 06:56:04 +0000
I noticed that my top volume knob on my LTD/ESP Kirk Hammet 202 is getting loose and is starting to jiggle around. I gave a peep inside and noticed that when moving the knob around it moves the inside control as well. I would like to tighten up the knob to avoid future problems this might bring with one over turn, however, I can not detect an easy way to tighten things up (inside or outside), or even where to begin (Things are kind of tight in the inside, lots of wiring). Can someone lead me in the right direction to tighten things up? Your advice is greatly appreciated.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Art of Balance https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/my-volume-knob-is-loose-please-help/#post-3540
