Nakamichi PA-7 bias trimpots...

[tubeornotube]

Could anyone who has any experience with replacing the bias trimpots on the Nak PA-7 please let me know what multi-turn trimpot is best to use.
Essentially need to know the resistance rating..but any further info would help.
The trimpots on my PA-7 are wonky to say the least and I can't get a steady bias setting at 40mV.

Thanks

Hey Old'n'Cranky

I have a copy of the service manual.It shows the bias trimmers to be 150R semi-fixed or something like that..I wouild like to install multi-turn trimpots and want to know what other owners have or had installed.

Also mine and another I have inspected internally have no vr101(4.7k) which I assume to be the offset trimmer. It's possible this was a revision as the serial numbers on these two amps were quite far apart.

vr 101/201 are dc offset adjustments.

and i do believe their are several 'revisions' of this amp.
manual i have covers "pa7/pa7e"

No mention of 'power ratings' for the trimmers, so id suspect whatever 'bournes' multi turn floats ya boat
Bourns are what i've fitted into my Pass Labs x150.

sorry i can't be of more help.

Can I exchange VR101 to 5kohm trimpot and VR102 to 200ohm? I can't get 150 and 4,7kohm.
