When I do the mod for Ben, I will document the procedure with a How To page on my website and place a link on this thread.

WARNING!!!! DO NOT use automotive heater hose for your "listener"... radiator/heater hoses are impregnated with carbon to mitigate electrolysis in the cooling system... be careful!

Very nice so far. I hope you can effect a complete repair.

I just finished doing this center tap mod on a 10 ohm 4 watt Clarostat pot for Phil Nelson. I have documented the procedure and posted instructions and photos at my web site under the "My Methods" section. It's the bottom entry "Pot Center Tap Mod"

Link to my web site is at the bottom of this post.

Excellent! It'll be a labor of love to restore.
