I'm going to ask how if you're using the heat shrink tubing over the
connections, and if so are you using a heat shrink gun? I'm quite sure I
cooked the CV MOD pot on my MOTM 110 by using the soldering iron near the
tubing in order to shrink it -- the pot only burned out in one small area at
the far clockwise side, and was therefore very difficult to figgur out what
was wrong. If you get desperate for a solution, you might try disconnecting
the pot and subbing in any (new) pot of the same value to see how it behaves,
and if it works, replace the pot.
And of course do everything that Dave, Larry, and Paul have already said.
