I want a guitar potentiometer with threaded grounded post protruding out the dome of it. 12 15 2020

No I don't want to do all that evil soldering to the back of the potentiometer.

No I don't want to pry the tiny fingers of the potentiometer dome away.  Drill a hole through the back of it and put the machine screw through and then put it back in place and pry the fingers back the way they should be without breaking them.

I want one made that way.

Now it isn't too bad putting the wires in those tiny holes, bending them about so they stay there while you add the solder.  But the back of the potentiometer, don't like soldering there. 

No I am not going to solder indoors.  And you can't solder in winter weather with any good results!

So there ought to be an easier way to do this.

Perhaps it could be a wire insert pocket on the top of the potentiometer.  Whereby you put the wire in there.  (Like a turret on a tank.  Remove the barrel and that is where you put the wire in.  If you can visualize things like that easily from an engineering framework of mind.  If not you want to label anyone who talks in engineering terms as mentally ill?  Oh baby.  And there went America down the tubes.)
