pman6 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) I busted open the 4 gang pot on my 15 year old promedia v2 400, unloaded half a can of contact cleaner, and could not fix the scratchy sound that also cuts in and out. I can only get 2 channels to play at once. Anyway, how do you measure the size of the pot? What size replacement do I need to find? The blue body is a hair under 15mm. It has 12 pins. Original specs = KIE b50k x4. If I need to solder wires, what kind of wires will I need? Could I possibly solder a 2-gang pot and wire it to the other 6 pin holes? (see 2nd pic) Edited July 8, 2015 by pman6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WMcD Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Hard to say. You'll see that KIE is a manufacturer of pots and other things. You should look there. By the numbers, you have 50K pots. The b might indicate audio (aka log) taper. I say that just because they are most likely audio taper in this application. Wire? Anything will do. I've used pieces from a CAT-5 cable. Overall, I believe this is more trouble than it's worth. But repairing equipment has its own rewards. WMcD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
