KitDean Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 Hello everyone! I have a question for the North Americans on the forum -- Where does everyone pick up their pots for projects? I have found a bunch of places where 500k pots are inexpensive, but am having difficulty locating a good, cheap source for 250k pots. The same goes for dome knobs. Where does everyone turn for this stuff? Any helpful suggestions are appreciated! Best, KitDean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKG Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 Have you tried StewMac and AllParts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGM Guitars Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 Just make sure to buy the right curve, you want an A curve for volume, and a B curve for tone. Usually a 500K A curve is used for vol, and a 250K B curve on tone. Stew mac has them, but if you have a place that sells 500K pots, they should be able to order you 250's as well.

KitDean Posted February 19, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 Thanks for the suggestions. For me, StewMac and Allparts are definitely last resorts. Although quality and service is topnotch, prices tend to run higher than I'd like. Guitarelectronics.com is a good suggestion. I actually had considered them and guitarpartsusa.com before for pots and preamp parts. I will probably go with them...

jeremywills Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 a FYI http://www.torresengineering.com this is where i got my 1meg pots and my custom wiring kit for my strat and the rio grande pickups, he also sells hand made tube amps, and other neat guitar electronics stuff, this would be my suggestion if your wanting to make some customizations, and I think they have pearl topped dome knobs, id have to browse the site again, but i dont know what kinda price your considering cheap or not? I can just tell you they have been real nice to work with and so far have not screwed me, good luck. Jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
