My AES pots arrived today. They're nearly identical to the originals except the shaft is too long.
A Dremel tool and cutoff wheel took care of that.

My reasoning was to solder the nut to the bottom of the original twist mounting plate. That was the intent, if the treaded bushing would protrude too far, so the shaft wouldn't be long enough to retain the knob.
Did you use the original carbon element from the old controls?
