Reattach Slider to Ovation Preamp
Posted by Ben Schmaus Bench Zen on June 4, 2024 at 8:22 pmI was testing the electronics on an ovation and the middle slider of the preamp pulled right out. Any tips on how to reattach it?

Thinking about this overnight, is the approach here to remove the preamp and reinsert the slider from the back of the preamp?

Hey Ben
Those slides just control linear potentiometers inside. Something like the photo below.

You’ll probably need to dismantle the preamp to take a look. Hopefully it’ll be repairable. 🤞
