Anyone have ZX600ti potentiometers for sale or a source?

Post by 00goobs »

I'm going to replace all the potentiometers on my ZX600ti and 600.2Ti (I'm assuming they're the same). If you guys have 2 sets for sale or a source that I can buy them, I'll greatly appreciate it.

Thank you!

Unless I'm thinking of the wrong type, that particular style of pot is readily available. They are multiple single gang pots all ganged on a common shaft. I've not been able to find them anywhere with the hexagonal center though. Many manufacturers offer them with hex center, I've just not found anyone who stocks them. I believe the originals were by Alps though, if you want to look through their catalogs.

I have successfully reformed the center to take a hex drive before. I ground a slight taper on a scrap Allen key, heated it and then used it to punch the center. It worked fine, but it is a pretty fiddly experience.

Good luck,
Jason
