It takes a lot of picky-picky experimenting to get if right once in a while.
Why it changed after the drop, is anyones guess.

That's the problem I don't have a rat tail file to use on this, otherwise I would be trying to rough up the tuning knob to see if that works or not.
but yeah it is kind of weird that it decided to poop out on me following it falling on the floor.
