The volume control dropped into the cavity of my gibson es-335 while trying to clean my controls. What is an easy way to get the volume control back into the hole so I can put the washer and nut back on?

A little trick I learned was to take a standard # 2 lead pencil that you use in school and remove the eraser. You can press the end without the eraser over the knurled shaft of the control, slide on the washer and nut and carefully lift the potentiometer through the hole and lightly fasten on the nut. After the potentiometer is in place you can remove the pencil and tighten with the proper nut wrench.
