Could you post pics of the solder filled holes?

Thanks,

Maybe the wires don't go in the holes on this one, but are soldered between the two "dots" next to the G/out/in?

I think what you suggested is a good idea.  Go with that then after the wires are in add a tiny touch of your solder.  I always count to three after the solder is all liquid then remove the iron.

That is different than mine looked.  If you run into any trouble post here and I will post pics of mine and help you trouble shoot it.

Umm, I looked at the eBay listing again, and the pot I purchased is supposed to be new

It's pretty clear it isn't, so I sent a message to the seller. Anyone work with "vintage_audio_lab" on eBay before?

I have brought a number of items off of them in the past and have always been happy with the quality of the items I have received.

Good news. Hopefully they will make it right. I think I'm right in noting the pot isn't new. I assume a new one would not have old solder on the connections.

I have bought a few things from them and have had no problems.  As many Bottleheads who have used them I would expect you get a good response from them.

I heard back, and true to form, very good customer service.

You got a used potentiometer, not a new one.
My assistant take potentiometer I used for my sample preamp.
He do not check product carefully enough.

They gave me a full refund and said I could keep the pot. I left good feedback for them

They are a great little outfit, aren't they?  Glad it all went well.
