2600 Paddle Troubleshooting

I recently opened up my paddles to clean, and now both seem a little glitchy and quick like the wheel is too quick, does anyone know how to give them a little more resistance?

Exactly how did you clean the paddles? If you used a liquid cleaner, that may be reducing resistance somewhere in the units. It could possibly have gotten into the pots, and be contacting the wipers. First, open them up, and dry them out with a hairdryer. If that doesn't work, see if you can replace the pots with new 1 M ohm pots from the big 'Shack.

You need to open the potimeter.

I got 2 driving controls the other day and naturally one is messed up, so i was wondering if anyone would know what kind of pots the drving control would take
