No sound from left channel after working without issues earlier in the day.

I totally see how that can occur, and after looking at the PEC design I see how it helps protect the pot.

I’ll update the thread once I install the PEC pot in a couple of days.

Just received the PEC pot, and I'm about to install it. There does not seem to be any instructions, but the installation regarding where the wires go should be the same, correct?

I do have to enlarge the volume pot hole along with extending the hole for the locating pin. I will report back tomorrow after I visit my friend with a drill haha.

Yes, just install it exactly like the stock pot.

Perfect! This PEC pot is much larger, and should make for an easier time soldering. Thanks, PB.

My friend successfully drilled a wide enough hole for the PEC pot to fit through along with slightly elongated the locating pin hole.

I've attached a picture of the PEC pot. Should I slightly bend the bottom lugs up? I potentially see some wires touching the chassis.

Happy to report that we can mark this as resolved! PEC pot has been installed, and it works great. I once again have sound in both channels.

I really appreciate everyone's help!

If they touch the chassis, then yes, bend them up.

Thanks PB! I went ahead and bent them slightly up. Installing the new potentiometer was a lot easier than I expected it to be.
