[Towertalk] T2X Problem

[Nelson Moyer]

So that's what the funny looking molding in the top of the bell is for...
Thanks to those who straightened me out.

When you put it back together, did you make sure the indented part of the
bell housing sat over the pot's arm?
It's easy to misorient.

I always use the control to turn the rotor fully in one direction.
Make a scratch where the two housing join to indicate proper positioning.
After repairing or replacing the pot in the direction it was when opened,
you will have it oriented correctly for reassembly.
