I was mostly hoping to confirm a substance or method was being used that didn't make a
situation worse, because I've heard storeies of people disolving or gunking up the surface
and making it worse
Hmmm, I'd almost guess you were talking about EMS not EML, though you do mention the
model number. EMS (not EML) pots have plastic coverings on the back making it pretty
easy to do as well as the late Everett Hafner, their US rep giving out that advice. I noticed
that some of my EMS pots had little holes in the back already
On the other hand EML uses very similar pots to Modular Moogs. I saw the inside of a
room-sized 1968 Moog and the brand was the same though the later 70s 101 I have had
it's pots stamped "Mexico' rather than "USA" fwiw. Also I don't recall seeing any holes
made in the pots, though I wasn't exactly looking hard for them.
Thanks for the info,
