Are there issues with it? If I had pot issues, I would certainly just replace the board with pots and caps.
I left the pc board in my 1981, and just replaced the metal caps on the board with some old Vitamin Q's that I had. Extremely good sound, tone roll-off. So, I just left mine alone.
There's no magic to pulling and replacing it. I suppose you might want to shield the cavity if you pull out the board.
Just dont but CTS pots, they are too big and you will need to slightly enlarge the holes in the body, there's been quite a lot of previous discussion on this. But 'Alpha' pots instead!
I replaced my board on my LS80 Goldtop as one of the pots went funny after only 27 years, quality's not what it used to be!! :wink:
that's exactly what I wanted - I changed wiring to vintage style.
JohnA: this is disaster, definitelly you need to contact Tokai, I think pot should be still in warranty
I put CTS and need to enlarge holes, but you can do that with some bigger screwdriver, it's not such big deal, less then 1mm. I bought also Alpha but seller send me wrong pots (too short). That's why I put CTS.
It's no big deal enlarging the holes, a bit of sand paper wrapped round a pen will do the trick, but Alpha's fit straight in, are just as good quality, and I find CTS pots too stiff, especially whaen they are new.
