I need to change the pots on my Capistan. Do you guys know of a good reference source on how to do this.

I have never opened mine up, but I imagine they are soldered directly to the board and that everything is tightly packed in. Have you tried using a lubricant spray/pot cleaner on the pots yet? That would be my first go to. Or contact Strymon? I would assume the parts are something you’d be able to find at any electronics retailer, but desoldering them would be difficult. I would find a technician that Strymon recommends in your area if it’s out of warranty.
