Title: 16mm dual ganged 50KA pots...can't find these anywhere
Post by: BillyJ on January 24, 2004, 11:35:05 AM
I'd prefer pc mount but will take what I can get.
I would also take a linear pot...
I have found 24MM but they just won't fit in the space needed.
I am trying to replace an input pot on a Lexicon LXP-1.
Lexicon were unable to lend any help.
Hoping someone here might know where these are lurking.
I have found lots of things close but not excactly.

Many thanks!!

I've been looking for the same thing for my LXP-5.  I've seen some at Electronics Goldmine

Found them again!

100k+100k seriesed= 50k
  Take yer 100k dual ganged pot from radio shack, and slap a two 100k fixed resistors across each pots lugs 1&3...measure with a DMM and it should read like 50k across itm and give function like 50k pot...I do it all the time it works great.
  Sometimes I put some R value on volume pot to get it working closer to what I want it to range wise. Experiment and theorize R values in different configurations of lugs 1,2,3 and make the pot do more like what you want it to...

Thanks Pete. That was my next option. It is a fix for a friend so I was trying to get it as close as possible.
I did find a 24mm but there was no space what so ever for it.
I did find 16mm 100K's and was planning on that next so I am glad I was thinking correctly  :D
But Steve your the freakin man :!:  :!:  :!:
Those are exactly what I needed. Thank you both so very much :!:
Sweet  :D
