Does anyone know where i might get a pot something like this...
shaft D type flush pcb mount
would help a lot.
The pot is from an OS 300 Gould oscilloscope I'm trying to fix.
If not I'll have to make a complete new mounting edifice!
thanks
Had a look through the DigiKey catalogue? Some here might be posible with some modding:
Looks quite common but if you can't find one;!. Can you get another one and take the PCB mount bit off, put the new track in place and fold the lugs over perhaps?..
looks like a standard pot to me. These lug mounted ones tended to be used in production runs and not really by diyers. I dont recall seeing them in retail catalogues years ago. Scrap equipment is one way to get the if you can't find anything. Another is to replace only the track, keeps the rest of the old pot. Another is to mount a threaded pot a bit further back. What R value is it?
