Dan, > Where did you get those new pots (and how much were they, if you don't mind > my asking)?
The guy I purchased my console from bought the remaining stock from Mike Stoica before I got the console. He held on to the pots for a few months after I got the console and then offered them to me. I think I paid at least $25.00 each for them, but I had to buy the whole lot of 80 pots, which is enough for 20 channels. Yeah, I know, it's crazy but I knew I'd most likely have this board until I retire so it was worth it to me. Now that I've completed a dozen channels, I think they're worth every penny. They weren't drop-in replacements (as you can see in the pic), so they need some leads attached and a few other mods to hook them up. I've heard that Mike offers a "rebuilding" service for the older EQ pots, but I don't know what he charges for this service these days. > I have a Series IIIC with some inevitable wonky EQ pots and I've been > wondering just how expensive those would be to source replacements for. I don't have a clue what new ones would cost if you had them made. With the way prices are rising, anybody's guess would be as good as mine. If anyone has a good estimate, please chime in. I'm waiting to hear about pricing for pan pots from Greg at Electrical, but he's waiting to hear from the mfg. The EQ pots have two sections of 50K audio taper, one section of 50K linear taper, and two SPST switches, so I'm sure they'll be much more expensive than the two-section pan pots. > And do you have a ballpark figure you're seeking for the used pots? I don't > know if there's enough "market" data for folks to make an intelligent offer > - those are pretty rare items! :) Yeah, it's kind of hard, which is why I wasn't able to put a price on them in my earlier post. I'm not looking to make a killing here, but I think they are worth something. I was thinking about $10.00 each, which seems to me to be a fair price considering they're used and considering there aren't any new ones available. If anyone feels this is way out of line, please feel free to let me know.
