First you should get rid of the spigot construct to avoid locking
feedbacks. It's too complicated, it's error prone and most of all: It
is ugly so it cannot be the best solution. Aesthetics make the
software world go round. 

Then: In the upper part of your patch you create three loops and then
cheat your way out of it. Even the usual "set $1" will not help you
there, it's an accident waiting to happen. So lets delete it
altogether. 

I cannot really follow the lower part of your patch, so I'm just
guessing here now. I suppose you want to create three linked sliders,
which all move in sync, if one of them moves. Again, "set $1" is your
friend here. So lets delete all this, too, and add "set $1", as done
in attached patch. 

It's obvious at first sight, that this solution is simple and most
importantly: It's not ugly anymore. 

Ciao
