For Sale Allen-Bradley Type J Stereo Potentiometers, Alps Black Beauty, and other assorted goodies

Things you have for sale.
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.

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.

IMG_0223.jpgIMG_0224.jpg * 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

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.
