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

    Interestingly, the only useful info I’ve been able to turn up on Ovation preamps is from the prolific @gerryhayeshttps://hazeguitars.com/blog/quick-tip-ovation-op-24-preamp-removal

    Hey Ben

    Those slides just control linear potentiometers inside. Something like the photo below. I don’t know for certain but I’d guess that part (let’s call it a ‘paddle’) should either clip or maybe glue/cement/epoxy to the movable part of the linear pot. You’ll probably need to dismantle the preamp to take a look. Hopefully it’ll be repairable. 🤞

    I was able to remove the preamp and use a small amount of super glue to secure the “paddle” to the slider. I got a pretty good connection without the glue so hopefully it’ll be a reasonably durable fix. The hardest part was getting the preamp itself reattached.
