asat deluxe adjusting volume and tone control tension
Can anyone please tell me how to tighten tension on volume and tone knobs? I took off the silver knobs on both but cant seem to figure out how to tighten tension.. They turn really easily and i would like to adjust. Thank you.

I've never heard of a way of adjusting pots, I'm keen to see if there is a way. I've read you can loosen them by removing the greas inside of them but never tried it out.
These ones feel perfect to me - not too loose, not too tight - and will only set you back $2.45 each.

You could try a felt washer under the knob...with the right thickness and coarse-ness you could "dial in" a little resistance and stability.

I've also seen some that recommend using a small rubber washer under the knob for a bit more resistance, haven't tried it myself though.Elwood wrote:You could try a felt washer under the knob...with the right thickness and course-ness you could "dial in" a little resistance and stability.
