10m RA taper / 3M RA

Post by StrummersOfThunder »

Anyone know a less financially crippling way to source 10meg and 3meg audio taper pots ?
Also need 350k with 70k tap

Weber sells them but of course there is a $60 usd shipping fee
The other amp parts shops seem not to carry them

Otherwise does anyone know a work around for these values (especially the 10) on the brown face schematics ?

Thankeeee

Lots of Alpha brand pots on Aliexpress, but finding actual Alpha ones with those values and the correct US size shafts will be like looking for a needle in a haystack, e.g., searching '1 meg pot ' will give you lots of results for weed and megladon t-shirts etc. Very cheap shipping though

P.S. This is one of the things that really frustrates me about NZ. It's often impossible to get certain parts here that are quite easy to get in the USA etc. No wonder we have the 'fix anything with a piece of number 8 wire' thing here, because we tend to have to get creative.
Another thing is how the Yanks insist on sticking with ye olden times imperial measurements, so we end up with all the compatibility issues with guitar and amp parts etc (Maccas probably are the reason -- so they can keep calling it the quarter pounder :mrgreen: ).

Wondering if I can buy from Weber and ask them to ship to amplified parts then get amplified parts to send the whole lot on with my order ….

3MRA pots are in stock available at AP https://www.amplifiedparts.com/products ... erse-audio.
Can't find a 10M RA pot - how about asking the 6G14-A crowd? There's probably a workaround.

Actually yeh good point
It’s about $13.50 so long as they don’t do that absurd thing that US companies do by putting a small part in a big box (Thatswhatshesaid)
