Desperate, I need a little pot
Any one have or know of a source for a 1 meg ohm, audio taper potentiometer with PCB leads, knurled shaft?
Strange request huh. |

Been there. Its from a large audio mixing console I'm restoring so, it needs a knurled shaft to use the existing knob. Audio taper so it has the same "feel" as all the other channels. PCB mount connections I can work around if I have to. My next step is to dismantle the pot and replace the broken carbon comp wafer with one from a "D" shaft one. It looks like I'll have to epoxy the wiper back on the shaft. Kinda growing my own... |

what console are you working on? i may have some parts here.
if it is a sealed wiper, you will have a very hard time getting it to set right again. as well as running the risk of bending the post.

Its an old Bi-amp that has vertical channel strips with transformer inputs. Very immune to hostile RF and has a nice sound after I reworked all the channel strips with better op-amps. Big VU meters, lots of room to work.
Anything these days with xformer inputs will cost big$$$. Last strip I pulled I cracked the wafer on that channel's trim pot. I have a good 1 meg audio taper pot here but its a D shaft not knurled. Knob won't fit. The shafts are crimped on the wiper end. I might be able to "roll my own". Nothing to loose. |

The JH636 is a nice desk.
I am using this Bi-amp for a live venue at my ranch where just last yr they installed a 50KW FM station just up the road. The transformer coupled mic pre-amps were dead quiet where every other desk I could hear 97.5 FM on some inputs using AKG 535s and other condensors. I have two pots apart. If I can swap the shafts I'll be set. Otherwise, its gonna have an odd knob on the last chan. |

Surely you mean splined shaft,with the "spring relief" cutaway friction slot on the shaft....well,you're in Texas,after all.
Here's one guy I've found useful. http://www.kenselectronics.com/lists/pots.htm Couple of local old-time "parts bin"type stores around here that used to serve all the defense contractors,I'll give'em a call after 10 this morning.
