It's just preference basically. Post pot does give you volume control over your pro-sound. But it can also give an unstable sound. like crackling and failing channels while sliding the pot.
You could also try and clean it with some contact spray.
these pots are 20 years old, so you can expect some problems 
Or you can just solder them to the other pins.
The balance should be even.
There's a number of things that could've gone wrong.
Did you install the prosound pre or post pot (does the volume slider effect the prosound as well?)
If you installed it post pot. It could be the volume slider itself. Try to connect the prosound to the top 2 points near the pot.
Maybe you've got a bad solder joint somewhere. you could reflow the solder on all connections.
Or maybe it's just a wire that's a bit iffy.
Or last option. It's your headphone 
edit:
all the connections for different pro-sound points.
I just bid 10 dollars.
I know I'm not going to win it, and I don't have any money anyway.
But i just wanted to be top bidder for a while.
There's a lot with different printing like the Manchester one. That one is probably most common out of those types.
Here's one of mine. I also have one that was made for the gameboy commercials and had huge "GAMEBOY" text on it without "Nintendo" printed. Unfortunately the text is completely gone, but you can still see the faded mark. Must have been a different printing method. That's probably the rarest type out there.
the serial KF-2000 on that gameboy is also used on other clones.
Like this one
or one of these:
(found here)
But none of them have the sideways start/select.
That gamefighter is actually quite awesome.

ha, that gameboy case it pretty cool indeed.
also, I've never seen those Sachen carts before. they look interesting. It's kinda cool they also change the logo 
I should restart my cart guide again that I made back in the 8bc days...
Here's a mirrored link
the connection was probably a bit weak to begin with. opening it might have been the last drop.
Anyway, most vertical lines are easy to fix. Just put a soldering iron on the brown flat cable just below the screen (be sure to remove the plastic and tape on top). Most of the times that fixes the problem as the solder under the cable reflows and connects with the screen again.
You can also try using a hot air blower thingy.
Midiout is great but not really what he needs.
I know. Just wanted to confirm it's awesome
Best option i can think of is just hardwire the buttons to an arduino...
This indeed.
Although it's not the same as TS meant, but it works so awesomely.
Just use lsdj as a midi sequencer.
I used it to make a song with a gameboy and a fm synth combined. Works like a charm.
You know I want one for december! Ill let you know, tho
You'll have to ask santa real nice
Well, you are right on the first part. Most headphones will sound softer. You will be able to hear it, but it's soft.
That also basically answers your second question. But also, some people like to use headphones besides the extra audio out in live situations, so you can pre-listen and sync up.
Could you post the patch here?
Just all the synth and instrument data. Might help.
I already had 15 gameboys, and last week I bought 6 more.
and even then, I'm not the biggest collector here. So you'll be fine.
I've got the weirdest boner right now.
Yeah, that's an iPhone case. You can tell by te camera hole top right. And the pixels.
The pixels always give it away.
Hi
I run the merch table at the Eindbaas gigs, and we do get a lot of sales there. You've mostly got 2 groups. The first one is the group that comes in at the start of the night and says: "Hi, all shirts and cd's please."
And then there's a group that just casually stops by to take a look.
What also helps is that we've got a cool table. People are attracted to it anyway
What I try to do is keep the table as clean as possible. put one of each cd on the table, the rest in boxes.
hang shirts behind you. and organise everything. (last time i got one big box with all shirts in them... trying to find a medium yellow shirt in a messed up box with 20 people waiting.. no fun.) make sure you can pick out what you need quick.
If you sell posters, be sure to have them pre-rolled. saves time. Also, if possible, you could offer that people buy stuff, and leave it at the merch desk to pick up at the end of the night. I had a lot of people who wanted a poster, but didn't want to walk around with it the rest of the night. If you organize something like a merch-wardrobe, people will buy more stuff knowing they can pick it up later.
Also, having a cute girl selling stuff helps too
And we've got stuff for everybody. Not just shirts and cd's, but also handmade 8bit stuff, necklaces, bags, hamabeads. stuff like that. Works great for when the boyfriend wants to get a shirt, and then the girlfriend sees the cute mario earhangers...
Have price lists on the wall, so people know what stuff costs.
this post is totally fragmented, but ok.
Also, bring pens, paper, tape, some rope.
Cloth-hangers are very usefull for the shirts. you could hang them on a wire on the ceiling, or a radiator or something. Or just tape them on the wall if they let you.
Be sure to have change.
And the part about the artists hanging around the merch table works.
That's about it for now... I think.
ok bye!
