A crystal earpiece is about the only piece of test equipment you need for
this sort or repair, in all probability. To check the central pins of the
treble control pot to start with.


Ok, I'll pick one up...but I have never used one before, can you point
me to some info on how to use one? I am assuming that i would not use
the jack plug, but would instead cut it off and ground the wire while
probing the treble control pins with the other wire?

Ugh I hope I don't have to replace the treble control pot, that would be
a pain with the way its layed out...
