Did I Fry A Pot?

[Jeff_H]

I took the pups out of my LP Standard. Potted the 59' that I had just slid a cover on, and put the C5 back in the bridge. I noticed a wierd microphonic problem. When I tap the neck tone control post, it makes a wierd hollow noise thru my amp. Also, the neck volume pot is either on or off, with almost no rolloff inbetween the two.

I checked all my grounds, everything seems to be fine. All I did was litterally usdolder the pickups, remove them and re-install them. Could I have overheated something, or am I overlooking something simple?

When I tap on the post it rings out. When I tap on the capacitor it rings out. When I look at it wrong, it rings out.

Sounds like your cap has gone shy.
