I replaced the pots in my paddles, using pots from Radio Shack, I had to cut the shafts down on them so the stock Atari knobs would fit on them, I finished cutting one of them and now I have to turn the knob a good amount to get the object in a game moving.

Does anyone know what could of possibly went wrong?

Some pots have different turning ranges allowing them to have more precise adjustments. Most pots are one turn. I don't remember how much spin the Atari controllers have so i cant help you there.

See the pot worked fine before I cut the shaft down more, plus I already have already cut it down once before, this time I just had to trim it so the knob would go down all the way on the pot, I didn't touch anything inside of the pot at all
