Oh, ahah, I thought for the MC....  I already wondered because it should have been correct voltage setting from the beginning when it was installed on "The Ship".... ;)

If I were you I would replace all the pots on that monitor. If this one is already that bad, the others cant be much better.

Look at the manual for all the pot values you need. Also be sure to order the correct shape and size....

Order at a local company like Mouser or Maplin.....
