CTS push-pull pots

After ruining 1 pot I found out the front board can be removed for soldering contacts. After it is replaced.
Any comments ?

How did you ruin the pot?

The chances of a reply would be even greater if the opening post included a definite question.

I'm guessing that the switch itself doesn't come apart, it just unclips from the part of the pot which operates it? Since from your pic it looks like the whole switch is still attached to the back of the PCB.

yes, don't ruin your pots again... hopefully you have learned how to avoid it

Well,  one small eyelet during soldering dropped out and connection was lost. Anyway, StewMac tech does not recommend taking off the  board with eyelets. Soldering to be done  as it is . Grounding of lug 1 to be done on the side of metal pot with a jumper wire.
I expected that CTS would make a better product . Little disapointed with it.
