Accidentally destroyed one of the DC offset adjusters in the trends TA-10

Ehm, so, is this a problem or can I live without? Should I just try and see what happens?

Where can I get a new one if needed?

Cheers

Okay, it still works and I did manage to squeeeze an Alps Blue into it (fits if you remove its plastic back cover, bend and solder together two of the jumpers and remove one DC offset thingie

But I suck at critical listening, so should I get a new DC offset thingie?

What are the DC readings?

30mv on the left channel, 568mv on the right :S

Ouch. But will it damage anything?

Managed to fix it, took the somewhat mangled old offset thingie and managed to solder on some cat5 wires..

My god my trends is tortured.
