gafferted Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 Not sure where to post this, but I need to source a replacement edgewise pot x2 for a BP114 comma box.I know I'm being lazy but it's not always easy identifying the right part from online catalogues so I thought it was worth asking just in case anyone has a part number to hand for one of the regular suppliers.I've not dismantled it yet so don't even know the value, but I don't suppose it's too critical.Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gafferted Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 Cheers. Feel a bit daft now - I had no idea they did such a comprehensive back catalogue of spares! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyro_gearloose Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 £4.50 excluding VAT seems a bit steep for a volume pot, and I've just discovered that Canford have a £35 minimum order and an £8 delivery charge on top!!!! A bit of search engine kung-fu on RS, Farnell, or CPCs websites should help you find a much cheaper alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Allen Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Sideways volume pots are expensive and not many alternatives are available. I bought some from Pro Intercom that used to be Production Intercom and the POT1 for the BP1 belt packs were USD$4.14 each plus postage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyro_gearloose Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I don't think it is a sideways pot. It looks almost like a normal pot, but with a hole to attach the knob to rather than the more usual shaft. You could probably use a normal pot, and fit a BP5 knob as that looks like its meant to fit a standard D shaft. I've got a Tecpro pack at work so I can open it up and have a look tomorrow if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
