I thought I had a spare one of these pots, but I do not. So, I guess that stops the tinkering today until I can order some. It's on my todo list to replace all of these with flat sealed pots that don't stick up from the PCB so problematically
@ansate Ooh, I just saw this reply! I've been mostly bumbling through this stuff myself with googling & youtube, could probably use some help & friends :blobSmileSweating: Along with Tempest (which hasn't worked in awhile), we also have original Asteroids, Centipede, and Ms. Pac Man in our basement (which do all work)!
@SnoopJ I'm really hoping this current round of my enthusiasm actually ends up with the thing working again :blobsweats:
Rather than just fix this one pot, I think I'll order a whole new set of these sealed flat pots and install them with these 3d-printed adapter plates I just saw on the KLOV forums
