I have a Mirage II, 2 pick up version, one vol pot, one tone pot. The volume pot is wonky. The seller disclosed that when I bought it and he gave me a replacement kit.
Yesterday I shot some cleaner into the pot. The ground wires came off. I resoldered that but now the pot isn't working at all. I looked at a couple of you tube videos. I am inclined to do this myself. This is no f-hole, four-way controls project
Any tips? For starters, the pot is a Fender pot. Not sure if it is 250 or 500. Should I stick with that or get something else/better like a CTS pot? Should I upgrade the cap? To what?
Any favorite pot replacement videos on the internet?
One other thing. The wiring doesn't look like the neat wiring i has seen on my other Hamers. Looks like somebody else has tinkered with this in the past.
