Hi All
Item #1: SOLD
ALLEN-BRADLEY Type J dual potentiometer, audio taper. These are original, all-sealed and pretty rare. 2Meg.
I have four pieces. One has some solder on the eyelets from some testing. You will see they all have nice long solid shafts. They don't make them like this anymore.



Price: CHF 20.- each OR the whole lot for CHF 60.- plus shipping.
Item #2: SOLD
ALPS BLACK BEAUTY stereo potentiometer (stepped) from Japan up for grabs. This is the real deal- Vintage, straight out of the late 60's or 70's. It was used in Macintosh, Luxman and other great amplifiers of the day. 250k. This is not the cheaper small ALPS pots you find on ebay. Beautiful movement. Slightly soldered eyelets and back paper label a bit aged.



Price: CHF 80.- plus shipping.
Item #3: STILL AVAILABLE
SAMWHA RA-40 wire-wound 100 Ohm precision potentiometers. These are NOS and are superb quality. I used these many times for cathode bias duty. Sadly they are no longer available since some time.



Price: CHF 15.- each, plus shipping. All 4 pieces for CHF 50.-
Item #4: SOLD
TOKOS Cosmos RV24YG 20S 100k stereo potentiometers. These are really decent quality stereo potentiometers - made in Japan. However, they have a very poor reputation for channel matching. It's like a lottery buying them. Some years ago I bought a BIG LOT of them and took the time to sort out the (very few) GOOD ones that happened to be decently matched. Often I would find only 1 or 2 our of every 10 pieces which matched decently enough.

* note some of these may have light solder on the contacts, only from testing.
I can sell a few of these in two varieties:
Select 2: Channel matching 2% or less. Price: CHF 25 each, plus shipping
Select 1: Channel matching 1% or less. Price: CHF 50 each, plus shipping
Free Stuff: ALL GONE NOW
If anyone wants some new, never used Tocos Cosmos RV24YG 20S 100k stereo potentiometers that don't match as well as the ones above, message me. You just pay for shipping. Update: 30 June 2023 - all gone now.
Also - I have two, 4 channel, 5 position USSR input selectors.
These have silver connectors. They are break-before-make and even come with a very nice vintage Bakelite knob. Never used. You just pay the shipping. Update 26 June 2023 - all gone now.
AND - If you want a nice decent Power Toggle switch with on/off label, message me. These ones I have from Toowei are from China and quite decent.


I have at least 5 of these that someone can have for free. You just pay the shipping. Update 30 June 2023 - all gone now.
Note: Buyers who might want the free stuff get first dibs.
Shipping is from Switzerland, and swiss post is not cheap... but it goes by weight, and I will only charge you what I pay.

Dear All
There has been a lot of interest in the free stuff. I would like to give people interested in buying something first dibs on it for at least a week or so.
I hope everyone can understand this. Thanks!!!

All items were sold, except the SAMWHA RA-40 wire-wound 100 Ohm precision potentiometers. These are still available.
