[simpits-tech] Doh... are stick pots 10k or 100k ?

[cyplesma at aol.com]

 another trick I've seen is use heat shrink tube, don't shrink it, just cut small slot for the stick, glue it there. slice the tube open on the other side and wrap it around the slider case. let the tube go back and forth with the stick (a little vasaline where the tube actually makes contact with the slide case, clearance for the tube at the ends of the slider is key with this trick though.

 Another good idea is to put them into a rubber baloon, cutting away just enough
 to allow for the moving bits to, err.. *move* A little trick I learned from 
 working with electrical components in and around oils and dirt :)
