Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] sds 8 and 9 replacement pots

From: "ksefm" <ksefm@...>

thanks for the reply
i want to match the pots as well as possible.
the shafts are plastic and would like to match the knob fitting.
on the rear of the pot, there is a small metal tab that protrudes
out and is soldered to the pcb for stability.
i was hoping someone would know the exact or closest pot that will
fit the pcb and the knobs on the shaft.
yes mouser has a bunch of pots and i will recheck tomorrow as i need
to order parts anyway.
i was hoping others had replaced these pots and had a good source or
substitute for them.
the issue is broken shafts and some pots are very dirty noisy and
contact cleaner will not do a sufficient job on these pots.
thanks
