Hello everyone
I have been trying to get the volume (slide potentiometer) to work but it is just too run down to work properly. I wanted to replace it with a new part but I have found it very difficult to find the part, let alone someone who is willing to ship it internationally.
Now, I have been trying to make heads and tails of the documentation for the schematic and parts. Since the fitting for the pot is not standard, nor are similar available for purchase in 1 unit I want to swap it out for anything else that will fit and work appropriately.
After some time of testing (out of circuit) I have been getting odd results but my conclusion is that the pot is 200k. I can't find anything that will fit in my 65mm space (can possibly fit up to 72mm with some chopping of the pcb which is in the way by about 2-3 mm)
Can anyone have a look at the service manual (as some clues may be present there) and the schematic for the volume connection and let me know if 200k pot is correct and if using a 500k with an additional 500k resistor to halve the pot value would make it work (and where exactly would i use it to get the desired effect? across the pins 1?)
I'm just a bit confused as to what I can substitute the original for to make it work as nothing out there on mouser and digikey fits my requirements of dual gang 45mm travel 20mm handle(tapered 5-3mm) requirement
Thanks!
