Turner + 3

[Oldtimer]

Hi to all.
My Turner plus 3's volume knob is slightly loose.
When I key up I'll watch my mod meter and it wont move until
I put my finger slightly against the volume knob then the meter will move.
Any ideas.
Thanks

Take the bottem plate off and see if you can tighten the nut that holds the volume control on the mic. Or it might be that you have to remove plastic knob which I think is held on by a small brass screw and tighten it from the top. Hope this helps ! I am pretty sure it is from the top .

If tightening up the pot doesn't work:
a) a wire on the pot inside may be breaking off/loose connection.
b) the pot may be worn inside and needing replacement.

Nice mic - I have one too.
Worth fixing - be patient...

All searches point to it being a 5k and to make sure just probe any 2 of the connections with an ohm meter and that will give you it's value.

The pot itself might just need a good cleaning. Some contact cleaner can do wonders sometimes for problems such as this. Spray into the opening of the control while turning it from stop to stop. Hopefully this will fix your problem.
