You might suspect wiring to be a problem but look at the use of the front
mic gain pot and the length of wire used there. I was thinking about actually
installing the new pot to the bottom below the mini-pot installed there. Also
contemplating gluing a plastic rod to the present pot and have it extend
about 1/4 inch or less below the bottom plate. It is not like we adjust the
power like the volume. I just figured there have been some innovative
approaches
attempted (failures and successes) that folks might like to share
That pot in there now is just such a pain to access and adjust

The only problem is how you attach the external pot.
I thought a good solution would be to add a bracket for it under the bail/
foot at the front, and bring the pot out to front panel area that way.
However, I do not operate at various powers enough to have prompted me to
add it that way. I was going to use flat cable out the back for the wires.
One issue was should they be shielded? Probably a quick mock up would show
if there is RF leakage with longer wires.
