Push pull pot ground wire

[Jikkiki]

Hi, I recently installed my new CTS pots and one happens to be a push pull pot, but the top isn't metal and I'm not entirely sure how it works. How would I install the ground wire while still connecting it to the push pull?

Any part thats metal but doesn't have to do with the signal. Maybe the side of the pot part.

Thanks for that!

I've used those before. Be very careful soldering to the side of that unit. The ones I had included a star-washer soldering lug. Like this, except the right size:

I've used washers like that, too. When designing it, it should have included a nicely-marked ground tab. I mean, if they were doing to redesign the idea, anyway. The Liberator has these, but they ain't push-pull (wait..that's an idea....).

Yeah. I did several of these for a customer, and to be honest, I'm not sure I would call these an improvement over the old style. The are, however, lower profile.
