Most of the time inexpensive pots were put together
with just bent tabs. I've brought 99% of bad pots on
audio stuff and music synthesizers back to 100% useful
life doing this. Laborious, but good if you can't
easily replace 'em.
Antique Electronics Supply sells some nice ( but pricey $175)
stepped Attenuators. You can get your tubes too if it is real
vintage audio. www.tubesandmore.com
