KRK RP8 G2 pot. problem

[Thermaltake]

Hi, I got pair of KRK RP8 G2 modded with new japanes high quality caps cleaned of that black gunk problem and I am very happy with them. but I got this small problem with one pot. don't know if it's potentionmeter or what I tried to change pot. cap with new one and tried to alligne pot cap to be on zero but it just won't align cause that teeth inside the pot cap won't sit where zero is, but on other speaker is as it should be. My question is, does anyone know if pot. replacement will solved the problem.



On Left speaker vol. pot is not in center ( 40 clicks total, 20 would be middle I even count it ), on the right it's in the middle 20 clicks.

Maybe just readjust the position of pot on the mounting plate?

Never did that before, any tutorial or something ?


Here are picture without pot caps (right is the one that is correctly alligned) so left one that looks like it's in center isn't in center when pot cap is on it, that one needs to be corrected somehow.

There is usually a nut holding the pot on the rear plate. Loosen it and you can move/ rotate the whole assembly for the white dot to match the marking on the panel

Is it still adjustable without nut ? Is that allen key look like plastic that nut for adjustment maybe ?

The hexagonal opening is actually connected to your wiper not an adjustment. Is that soldered crooked on board?

Not much to to unfortunately , I think. Only way to rotate is to resolder the pot at different angle, not worth messing with for such a small inconvenience

It doesn't look like much but I have pair of it and if you mess with volume for some music stuff often believe me it's annoying. Do you think new pot would solve the problem ?

Can someone confirm or something if replacing the pot would solve the problem ?
