Well, I've never had any handkerchiefs as I've always
thought multiple nose-blowings into the same rag is
kinda nasty:) but I did end up using two credit cards,
one on each side, bent them upward and that popped em
off nicely. Looks like some kind of really gooey
double sided tape was used to keep em on! Well, now
all's left is to find out what kind of pots they
are...the volume knob has 6 lugs and B10K printed on
it on it and the rest give no indication of resistance
and have just 4 lugs. I'm quit new to the diy
electronics deal and
I've only seen Bourns pots that have blue bodies, so
if thay ain't Bourns any leads would be fantastic!
Thanks,
Ti_
