I doubt it's the card too. The first post said it did hum and your next one said no oscilation. That would sure narrow it down if it is or isn't. You said when you tested the pot, you pushed the lever. If reverse is the problem, doesn't the pot spin the other way when the lever is pulled for reverse?
