So, I dinged my Roscoe the other day. Fortunately, there is no scratch or dent, but both stacked knobs (high, high-mid) are both the slightest bit bent. Is it OK to just take the knob off and bend the pot back? |

If you distort the internal wiper assy. to the casing, the pot it will not work properly. |

Been here, done this.
So far (knock on wood), I've just been able to take the bent knob and gently bend it back to position without any ill effects. I've had to do it multiple times too, because frankly, the Audere pots are a bit...well...what's the right word here...LESS THAN STURDY... 
However, this is in no way an endorsement or guarantee of anything - just that I've done it and it worked. 
I don't THINK you have anything to worry about, but I can't promise you that your experience will mirror mine.

Especially when you read the post backwards slowly.

Forrest Gard, "I use my Au-de-ere and Ag-gie pre-ayumps e'ry time I plays my Ros-coe Bass Gee-tars"
Does anybody else come to the same conclusion?
