Awesome! I hear you loud and clear. I'll let you know how it goes. THANK YOU!
By the way, I live in Oregon now, but for a couple of decades of my younger years I lived in towns neighboring Grayslake (Gurnee and Waukegan) - such a small world.
I very much appreciate the responses here - I read previous posts on same/similar issue of replacing potentiometer(s) on old Brent pedals. What I am concluding is that "repair" is beyond my ability and I'll have to order a new pedal. I just wanted to say thanks and even though I may not understand all that I read in this forum, I am always learning from the posts and answers and I appreciate ya'll! Happy New Year!
