Last post by g1 - October 19, 2025, 10:21:16 AM The whole black plastic part is just pressed on to the shaft. See if you can pry/pop it off without damaging the wafer or carbon track.

Last post by saturated - October 18, 2025, 09:21:43 PMWell I had to overcome my fear and not defy an order from my mentors
So I opened it up and it's not looking good
This black piece was loose
But now I see where the hickey is for the "stop" (I presume)
You cannot view this attachment.
Beyond that things get ugly(ier) quick

EDIT. I seem have found a reasonable substitute except it is a stereo pot with two sets of terminals

Last post by saturated - October 18, 2025, 02:50:31 PMThanks guys I got some measurements
You cannot view this attachment.
Also wow this thing looks tiny since I saw it last
I know G1 said to take it apart I don't know if I can handle it
I found an old pot but it's 100k and looks to be PCB mount (?)

Last post by galaxiex - October 18, 2025, 08:40:34 AMYou can get "universal" solid shaft pots that have a long "cut to length" shaft.
Requires new set screw type knobs.

Last post by Tassieviking - October 16, 2025, 05:47:22 PMWhat is the length of the shaft ?
You will want to measure the splined shaft and the threaded shaft length and also add them together to be able to find a replacement.
The other option is replace both pots and also the knobs and you get a lot more choice to finding the pots, you can look at solid shaft pots or D shaft pots if you replace the knobs as well.
What is the diameter of the knobs ?
