Help with replacement volume pot please...

sideways · 30th June 2010, 02:05 AM

Greetings!!!

So I am looking for a replacement volume pot...here is a picture...the one at the bottom is the one that I need to replace...the one at the top was what one company said was a drop in...I don't think so!!!! LOL!!!

Can anyone recommend one to me?? I did some looking and maybe an ALPS RK168??

Thanks kindly!!!

Looks like a motor driven pot. Many stereo receivers in the 1990s and later used these. What equipment are you repairing? I replaced the volume pot (complete with motor) in my Onkyo receiver a few years ago.

The pot is out of a Jolida FX10...and nothing wrong with the ALPS other than there is zero room in the FX10 for anything bigger than the original...very tight quarters in there!!!

Dear Sir,
Do you still have that ALPS pot ? Since few months now, I am looking for that blue velvet model .
Do you sell it ? is it ALPS RK27112MC 2X (?)k Logaritmic or Linear (?)

If there is no room in your Amp, you can try ALPS RK168 series.
all the best,

You will probably find some matching pots out here.

Thank you ,
I have searched a long time but there is a problem.Alps distribuitors have only Slotted type.I need RK27 Flat type D as we can see in the picture above .

Maybe there is a possibility to order the Flat D type but the quantity will be perhaps 100 pcs or something.

kind regards,

True, only in one place.I asked the seller a few days ago where are made that pot Alps in Japan or China (Soundwell factory) no answer until now

the kat has eaten his tongue for sure

. I believe we are talking about ALPS fake (Soundwell), looks 90% like ALPS Japan.
