You guys should have seen the high end Shure wireless microphone I just repaired. The volume pot was soldered to the circuit board, which was mounted to the chassis. The pot also was mounted to the chassis with its nut and bushing. So any flexing of the chassis (thin sheet metal with a right angle bend between) or a shock stressed the solder joints. You guessed it, resoldering restored proper operation.
I told the owner if it happens again I will solder little wires from the pot so the solder doesn't have to be stressed.
I have a Magnavox turntable from a cheap stereo that is so minimalistic it rivals that Crosley. I should post a pic and you can see if you want it. It's even belt driven.
