Maybe the checklist should say “attenuator potS pins”.

It says “check pots are oriented correctly”
Revised to “check ALL pots are oriented correctly”
Also I need a “don’t just skip a step and assume it’s OK”

Careful with hot glue and slide pots. I did this once and they all seized in place. These things are less sealed than you think.

Squirt some 90+% isopropyl alcohol on hot glue and it releases.

Boil it? In water and use a little vinegar. The glue has a lower melting point than any plastic parts. I have sometimes put old pots into a cheap ultrasonic bath of brake cleaner or isopropyl. They’re fiddly as f but not difficult to disassemble.

The glue got worked into the sliding mechanism. Pretty neat if that works though, not saying it won’t I have not tried.
I’m probably not going to bother with it, I was just warning against hot gluing sliders caus it ruined a project of mine lol.
