could anyone recommend a volume pot to replace the 8 pin act1063 which is obviously obsolete and as rare as a unicorn.
Have surfed the net and found no answer. The best I found was a thread on here by chatziva where he adapted an 8 pin alps (picture attached)
Can anyone recommend an 8 pin with loudness taper? (Technically 9 pin as there seems to be a body ground pin)
Just need a part number as happy to adapt like chatziva did.
Or are people using a 6 pin and doing something to the other 2 holes?
Thanks for any advice

Hi
I would advise purchasing the 100KA version of this potentiometer.
It does not have the D shaft, but one side of the split shaft
can be cut with a junior hacksaw, to remove approximately half of it.
You can insert a plastic cable tie into the split shaft to fill the gap. Then slide on the volume knob, I have successfully done such a modification many times when D shaft versions of a potentiometer are obsolete.

Many thanks for your help, have spent days trying to find info, thinking surely people are repairing these amps (pioneer did at least 3 other amps with this pot).
Did you solder a ground wire from pot to the "9th" hole?
Just noticed the postage from USA is $46!!!!!!
May have to source one closer to home.
Once again thanx for taking the time to help🙂

Hi,
For the 9th hole you can solder a ground wire onto the case of the potentiometer.
When doing a google search click on images rather than all. It's an easier way of searching through 100s of potential searches.

Once again thanx for your help and advice.
Changed your link from 5 to 3 and postage now less than £2, so ordered and on the way, happy days.
Cheers
