Replacing the Harness on my 1957 Aristocrat

Grounding problem? But that's an extremely uneducated opinion.

Steve: You are absolutely right, this type of pot is relatively easy to clean (spray out) as also the area where the contacts are is open towards the inside. I was thinking a different (replacement) pot that I had in another guitar which was completely closed. Sorry, my fault.
