http://www.guitarsbyleo.com/GALLERY2/ma ... alNumber=8Well I replaced the tone pot with a 500k and it is still not working. When I compare how mine was wired to this 1990 diagram, the only difference I see is that mine has a black jumper wire soldered between both pot chassis (but the 1990 does not) , and mine has no ground from the tone pot chassis to bridge. It appears that my bridge is grounded to the volume pot. So I'm back to square one. Could it be a bad cap on the tone pot? That's really all that's left right? Do I have to replace it with the '223J100V' or can I just use one of the .03uf 100V or .33MFD fender replacements they sell in the repair parts section of Guitar Center? I've never seen a cap with the weird 223J stamp before. I have a DMM but no Cap tester.
