JVC RC-M90 volume pot. No replacement, so it must be fixed, whatever it takes. I probably could have just glued them but wanted something that felt more like a permanent repair.
One of the metal feeler plates was broke off and the other just hanging on.

Ahh, necessity, the mother of invention! I've used a finishing nail on many occasionblu_fuz said:
Gotta ask tho, isn't it a tad offset to spin tight?
Dude, fantastic repair work 
When you have to dig deep, you have to dig deep!

I too have used a finishing nail to drill a hole. I worked in the construction trades for years and that trick came in handy when hand finish nailing some projects together.duckman said:
Yes, the needle was a tad offset because it was so small I needed to clamp it in the drill chuck with a real drill bit. There was enough flex in the needle once you got it up to speed it evened out well enough to drill a straight hole.
Ya know that was my first thought but the spacing of the grooves on the side of the knob looked a little wide to be an m90. Maybe because the pic was zoomed in so close.blu_fuz said:JVC RC-M90 volume pot. No replacement, so it must be fixed, whatever it takes.
