How Does a Volume Pot Fail?

[JJCalvillo]

Missed this, but yeah it should be the basically zero ohms that I thought you were getting. I guess i misread the post and thought the 0.3 ohms was wiper to ground. If its hundreds to thousands of ohms, something is unhappy

I get that impression as well.

I shorted the wipers to the ground pins on the high ohm pots and the speakers were silent.

Try some more Faderlube and see in which direction it goes.

Yes.

The control is bad. No resistor is going to fix this.
