Subject: Re: [AN1x] knob woes

Jimmy & Jeff,

If I know Jimmy by now, he's all atwitchin' since you talked about
internal organs. But not to worry, Jim me mon... it is a simple fix for
a tech, should run under $100 at the most. The costs will be due to
having bench time to get to the offending pot (the tech name for the
control under the knob) and possibly sourcing an identical replacement.

IIRC someone on the list said that they had found the correct part from
a major supplier like Digi-Key or Mouser. Any help? If Jimmy could buy
the part first, he might save markup money when he puts it in the shop.
