Hello all,

I have this Radio Shack Duofone (tad-241) answering machine that has a
knob on the rear to adjust the delay before the answering machine kicks
in.

This knob is broken and the answering machine never picks up.

I opened up the machine and found that this thing looks like a potentiometer
(but again it could be anything, I am not electronics savvy).

Is there any way to fix this thing? I don't mind if the machine picks up
immediately instead of several rings.

Thanks,

 - Samir
