Recommended Posts

The Bass and Treble pots on my Bartolini XTCT need replacing. They are 500K Audio Taper or A500K and have a centre detent. Any idea where I can get 2 x  A500Kcd pots, preferably mini ones? I've tried CPC and RS Online and they don't seem to have them.

Try Banzai Music as they usually have a good selection of pots.

Cheers, I have had a quick look and there sure are a lot of pots. will have to plow through.

Maybe hit up @KiOgon for advice?

Thanks S. That was to be my next move.

Every variation except the one you need, they have 250K audio taper:

Worth asking if they can source on for you?

OR... get a detent pot of any type and a 500K log from the same manufacturer and swap the bodies over.

Only the 50k is the type I'm looking for. The rest are blend/balance dual pots. Might be worth a call, so I'll see if they can help.

I've been in touch with Bartolini, as it's one of their preamps, and they are trying to sort something with Bass Direct.

The blend/balance audio taper pots are single spindle and a log pot stacked with a reverse log one, so if you just connect the one you will get what you need:

You just need to be sure you use the right one of the pair.

This is looking like the plan. John, @KiOgon has suggested the same thing. Am waiting a reply from 1 more enquiry and then that's the way I'll go.
