Sorry to make a new thread/post it twice, but the other one was a bit long.
Basically the pot on my crossover needs replacing, I get noise from it. If I put contact cleaner in there, the noise dissapears for a while, but does come back.
Its called B10K on the side of the pot, and called R315 on the PCB.
Im having trouble finding a replacement for it.
Can anybody help?
Thanks

Call Pg and ask for Phil the service manager he can fix you up with the original part.
I would have to see a pic to say if I have one or not, or where you might find one other than PG..Hope this helps...C

I got one. It comes wrapped in a mint condition 215ix. Black finish though.......
PG will answer.
While spraying the pot, rotate the adjustment back and forth. This will assist in dislodging contaminents and may solve your problem. Later, eh.
BTW - Nice pix. Clear and precise. Quality photos really help those who can advise you, while at the same time, educate those who want to.

No worries about the pics, macro mode is the best lol.
Just hope PG can help.

That appears to be a sealed up Pot and therefore cleaning will require some small holes being made in each section of the unit.
It also appears to be a 4 ganged pot, which means there are 4 separate wipers to clean.
Its a standard part used by many builders including PPI, Fosgate..etc..
Its value would appear to be 10 K ohm X 4 , I know I don't have one of these as I used it recently in a repair. PG would seem to be your best bet at this moment....C
