I have a Mirage MM-8 here and it had some issues like bad capacitors and adhesive that had become conductive. I replaced all of the capacitors that were bad and got all of the old glue off and after plugging it in found I have clean audio output! Only problem, the volume control is in reverse?!? When the volume is at minimum I get full output and when I turn it up to “max” the actual volume goes down to fairly quiet.
The volume pot is mounted to small input board that has the frequency and phase pots along with RCAs. The Volume pot is the only one that appears to be in reverse. Anyone know what could have caused this? I’m so confused on how this could happen, I didn’t remove the volume pot.
Of the three leads in the pot, two of them are wired together with a trace, theoretically couldn’t I cut that trace and connect the middle one with the other lead?

The only thing done to the board was replacement of the on/auto switch and I’m assuming that wouldn’t have anything to do with it correct?

Yeah I don’t get it, I cracked it back open to see if any wires were hooked up backwards, but they can only be inserted one way. Here is the volume pot and you can kind of see the two pot traces being connected with a trace, but not big on the idea of severing it and connecting the other two. Don’t get it.
