JimBobTTD Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Hello Title says it all, really. Does anyone have an audio 50k push-pull pot? They are often called A50k, but annoyingly the codes are not universal, and cannot really be trusted. There are some on eBay right now, but they are linear. This is (or could be - if I find one) going to be used as a master volume for an EMG BQC kit. The standard kit has a 50k master volume pot, and I plan to use an EMG 40DC and a 40TW (coil split) with it. Drilling a hole for a toggle switch is not an option. Any help would be most appreciated!

Alien Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 50K Ohms is a pretty unusual value - 47K is a standard value and will be more common, and probably a hell of a lot cheaper. Don't worry about the values being different, most pots have a tolerance of +/- 20%, and even good ones are rarely better than 10%, so that 3K difference won't matter.

JimBobTTD Posted July 19, 2009 Author Share Posted July 19, 2009 Cheers - no problems finding 50k pots, even though they are unusual. I couldn't find a 47k push-pull at all, linear or log, but I found a couple of 50k linear push-pull. I found a 50k log with an SPDT, but I need DPDT. Something tells me I won't find one, but I haven't given up hope yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywalker83 Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 (edited) woops, sorry! There's a couple of forums you should have a try on, ask anyone there if they know of any sources for a 47K Log pot [url="http://music-electronics-forum.com/"]Music electronics forum[/url] [url="http://www.diyaudio.com/"]DIY audio forum[/url] Edited July 26, 2009 by Skywalker83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBobTTD Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 Cheers! I'll have a look. I don't think they are easily available (ie reasonably priced), so I am toying with the idea of altering the project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
