Re: sda-srs crossover mod
I see this sort of thing all of the time at work dealing with customers. They come in and ask questions and they have a set answer in their heads (*Meaning they ONLY want to hear whatever it is that they want to hear*) Of course since the people they are asking are not mind readers, they have no idea this person has that set answer in their heads. If you do not give them the set answer that they want to hear, they resist. You could tell them they sky is blue or that god is good and if that is not what they want to hear they will debate/argue with you. The fact that you are giving them facts/the truth is completely irrelevant. THEY ONLY WANT TO HEAR WHATEVER IT IS THAT THEY WANT TO HEAR AND ANYTHING ELSE AS FAR AS THEY ARE CONCERNED IS A WASTE OF BREATH/TIME. You could tell them they are about to drive off of a cliff with whatever it is that they are suggesting, but because that is not what they want to hear then what you are saying will be ignored.
Then when they DO end up at the bottom of that cliff, they will blame YOU for not telling them what they wanted to hear/read.
Whilst I may not always agree with some of the people on here, I HAVE been here on and off for a very long time and have come to understand that a lot of the people on here know that they are talking about.
The following may be a very crude analogy, but it hits the nail on the head here.
How many people does it take to tell you that your breath stinks before you go and brush your teeth/use some mouthwash?????

Re: HH Scott 340 Receiver Rebuild
The volume pot was dripping DeoxIT. It's a great product but I think some folks get carried away with it. The pot felt very rough and when I disconnected wires and Ohm'd it with an analog meter, needle movement was not smooth as pot was turned.
Tough spot but you can remove a couple screws each side and tip front panel forward. Too many wires to disconnect and remove that front plate.
I watched a video where a guy successfully resorted a soaked pot. It was suggested to soak the wafer in rubbing alcohol to dry it out. Clean the element surface with straight DeoxIT D100L, dry. I tapped on the rivets to tighten connections without breaking the wafer. The center contact ring was loose on both wafers.
Fader grease is applied sparingly on metal-to-metal surfaces and on raised ring where it contacts back of plastic wiper. Feels like a new pot and both measure well.
It's busy with stuff connected to it. You want to get it back together right. A couple of resistors connect from below.
