trimpot problem

[jtn191]

I'm using one of these on my MKII tonebender and there only seems to be signal/resistance when I push down with a screwdriver. Have you guys run into this? Is there any fix?

I'm having an issue with one I got at STUPID radioshack - seems to only work in certain positions. I'm just going to have to order more - don't think there's any fix for them that would be lasting. Are all of them doing that, or is this the only trimpot you have and you don't want to order more? ;-)

If it's the latter - I would just order more. If it's the former, then I have no idea...

yeah I just bought another one. It stopped having any effect when turned all together. cheap Tayda one I think

The ones I get from Tayda are Bourns.  I've used over 50 (at least) with no problems.
