You may contact me directly concerning these matters. It is not something I am prepared to divulge to an open forum. I trust you are aware of the fact that Rome were not built in a single day, nor emperor Diokletians summer house in Split. Saw it last autumn. Awesome. BTW. You Serb, Slovenian or from Hrvatska?

Thanks for you reply,

my problem is: sometimes does crackle 🙁
I'd like to replace this for a new one or BETTER one (with compatible pins/size - rehabs for a better ALPS type)

Have you any idea?

Many thanks in advance!
Regards,
Cartman

Crackle. Ok. The root of the problem is that there are sometimes DC present on the volume control. This arcs the tracks. The only solution is to replace the volume. You are more or less stuck with the original type, as its value is only 5K. I believe they were custom made for EC.
Where do you live? I do repair a fair number of EC amps each year, and I bought the last stock from the importer when EC went bust last time.

Measure the DC over P1 and P2, P3 and P4, respectively. It should be as close to 0VDC as humanly possible. Within a few mVs. The pot in question should be close. It is 200R. You could possibly exchange it for 100R, but then you would have to add 100R to the resistor connectet to the pots wiper. Normal value 1K3, new value 1K4, as not to upset the DC operating point, and input stage current.Ok?

I opend the amp today. It smelles like burnd transformer. I try to measure the transformer and my Fluke showed 3 Ohm.

I'm not familiar with your amp but :

if you can - disconnect everything from PSU ( are there fuses after graetz and cap bank ?)

put new mains fuse

power it up ; if transformer is toasted ( not likely - 3 ohms is pretty usual for any decent xformer) , it will burn that fuse again

in that case - send amp to some capable technician ;

dunno - Roar is near you , maybe he can help you more ....
