What's wrong with those pots, Jimmy ?
Need to change them ?
Yes, most of today's electronics are done like that. But it's not a big
issue if you have some (inexpensive) hand pump to remove the melted
solder when you remove the pots. Soldering iron in one hand, pump in the
other, and go ! Act carefully an patiently however if you don't want to
rip off some PCB track or burn the pot !
Cheers.
