Drill a hole?!? Are you nuts? Just kidding, at times of desperation we've all done stupid things. Place the set on it's face so the controls are face up, or on it's side depending on the mounting. Then when you spray a LITTLE, gravity will take over and the liquid will find a way down into the control. Wait a minute or two, then whip the control back 'n forth quite a few times. This should do the trick. If you're prepared to buy a flyback anyway, you can try drilling, but watch out for arcing from flyback to Kevin (acting as ground) when you make adjustments. Make sure someone is nearby to pull the plug (ouch!) and make sure they don't grab hold of you when you light up like a Christmas tree. I guess you get my drift...drilling is not reccomended.
