Wanted: Tele Pots
A mate has asked me to improve his SX Tele. The control plate is the only thing that needs attention. I have a Kinman 4 way switch but new pots are required. 250K audio taper CTS if I remember correctly?
Anybody got a couple?
We were going to use an Obsidian Wire unit and I'd still prefer to, but a Strat was accidentally purchased on the weekend and the Fiscal Responsibility Act has been invoked.

Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Re: Wanted: Tele Pots
When I was looking for a couple of pots, this turned out to be better value

Re: Wanted: Tele Pots
I have a few Alpha brass shaft 250K audio taper pots left over form various projects. Can send you a couple if you like - PM me with details if you want me to.

Will these fit?
A shaft that has been guzzling Viagra?
Unlikely.

They sell'em at rs. Need to read through datasheet for model numbers to confirm taper.

Viagra shaft is common for certain knobs.
If the dimensions are okay, it will work. It's for an SX right?
Coat etc....

Looks like some variant of heat shrink to stop the bare wire touching other lugs.

Re: Wanted: Tele Pots
Don't think so. It may well be shrink wrap but it's covering a component. There's several groups of numerals printed on it. One could be 0025, then there's 56 and something unreadable. On the other side it looks like SD152NippleWrestler wrote: ↑Wed Apr 27, 2022 7:06 pm Looks like some variant of heat shrink to stop the bare wire touching other lugs.

Re: Wanted: Tele Pots
My best guess is it's a capacitor, maybe configured aa some kind of treble bleed.
