Hi,

Has anyone repaired a broken volume control pot shaft that has broken off? Does anyone make couplings the connect the shaft to a new one?

Any ideas thanks,
John.:music::D
 
John you might try a really good Ace Hardware they carry some repair couplings.
 
After wanting to figure out a simple way to fix a shaft that broke off very short, I finally gave up and just replaced the potentiometer. I would have saved a lot of time if I had just done that in the first place. But I do feel your pain and frustration that there ought to be a way to just fix the shaft......
 
If you still have a bit of old shaft on the pot you can use a bit of brass tubing and some epoxy to join them together. I've also seen short shafts extended this way.
