fleabag Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I cant find some CTS pot codes that are on some pots i have. Namely - on back of pot - CTS250SS 2025 and CTS 250SS 2044 There is no ID for Log/Audio or Lin tapers. Perhaps thats in the numbers - no idea Anyone ID these ?

Delberthot Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 As far as I remember the first one would be CTS 250k Solid Shaft made in June 2020 (week 25) but that doesn't answer whether they are audio or linear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 That makes some sense Del , cheers. Yeah no ID on the tapers. Weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan63 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 A quick Google finds this link which says they are Audio taper ebay link 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Cheers Aidan. So i've got 2 vols and 2 tones all Audi taper. Looked at the Ebay link, and still there's no taper ID on his pots that i can see. Wonder if there's ID on the sides instead Edited February 17, 2022 by fleabag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan63 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 WD music also say Audio taper, they are high tolerance spec pot WD Music I was googling CTS pots earlier as 2 I was sent are different part numbers, turns out one is no load variant, not as high quality as the ones you have, it actually measures 291kOhm before going no load 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 Yeah identical to the guy on Ebay, so Audio as you say. The thing i'm wondering is, with no ID of which taper is stamped on the pot, if someone were to order say 2 Audios and 2 Lins, how would you tell them apart ... things like this keep me awake at night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan63 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 The part numbers at the beginning, the two I was looking at are EP4185 and EP4385, in your case they are 250SS, if you have a CTS spec list they will be detailed in there, ctscorp.com, resistance, type, shaft type and length etc... Just have to hope that vendors keep their stock well sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 Thanks again Had a look on CTSCORP and mine appear to be 450G spec, and of course are available in Audio and Lin, and yet still i cant see how to differ an Audio from a Lin, unless i'm missing it in the spec https://www.ctscorp.com/wp-content/uploads/Series-450G-Data-Sheet-Rev-B.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
