I took the volume control out of my Zenith MJ-1035 recently and stored it. Will have to unearth it now and use some of the tips you guys have posted regarding getting it working again. The one weird thing on mine is that the third terminal, which appears to connect to one end of the carbon track, has separated from the pot itself. I can't seem to find where this could have been originally connected; the terminal appears to be mounted on a metal ring which is now separated from the control. Can this pot be saved, or is it too far gone?

Pictures attached. Note: It isn't easy to see the detached terminal in either photo (poor resolution--1.3 megapixels--of my cheap Radio Shack Flatfoto digital camera), but it is there -- it's the rightmost one, looking at the front of the pot. Just thought I'd give a heads-up in case it looks, at first glance, as if the terminal is solidly attached to the control.


Thanks in advance.
