Tonight my variable speed DC grinder started acting strange. It doesn't seem to change speed from 0-30 and again from 80-100. I usually run this grinder pretty slow, but now it won't get slow enough. Do the potentiometers go bad in the drives? Hoping it's something I can just fix.

I thought I posted this the other day, but with my poor internet it maybe didn't go through. I got a cool box of goodies from Gliden07. First was a bundle of brass pin stock. Second were some cool acrylic scales. I'm not usually much for the modern scales, but these are really cool and almost...
