Stingray Push Push Mod Complete; Knob Height Question

[Jim Jim Jeree]

I just finished adding two push / push pots to my Stingray II for individual series / parallel switching. Will post another thread with more detail when I have time.

The knobs require quite a bit of space over the mounting hardware to enable activation, and wobble a bit when engaged. Is there a trick to getting them any lower that I am missing or does this look right?

Looks like a clean install overall! A bit of height and slight wobble with push/push pots is pretty normal since the mechanism sits taller than standard pots. You can try using thinner nuts/washers or slightly countersinking the hole (if the body allows) to lower them a touch. For the wobble, make sure everything is tightened well and consider adding a star washer to help stabilize. If it feels solid in use, you’re probably good to go

Ah, great feedback, thank you! I have a little room in the cavity, so I think I can lower the pots a few screw threads as well. That's what the knobs are banging into if I lower them too much. The pot is stable. It's the knob that wobbles subtly because of how high it is on the solid shaft. It's solid. More of an OCD thing.
