Slider?
2017-04-01 by nuwavboy@...
and to top it all off, one of the sliders is broken -
I read that someone had a problem with a slider from syntaur not being the correct size, mine reads 435E 10kB
Good source for this?

Slider?

I bought these:
Good fit to the PCB, but the posts are shorter than the proper ones. If I bought new membranes, I'd go for the proper size, but since my membranes already don't look great, the short ones are okay (the slider caps rub barely/slightly onto the membrane).

Can you email me an image of the slider? I might have an extra left over from a couple Polaris' I refurbed a few years ago.

The sliders were changed at some point in the Polaris.
I was helping a friend repair his Polaris which had a bad slider.
He also had a spare front panel from another Polaris. But when
we looked at it, the sliders were completely different. Not usable mechanically.
Paul D can back me up on this.
So anyway, be careful when getting a slider from another Polaris to use in
yours.

Yeah, I've encountered two slider types which is why I asked for a photo before confirming I've got one for you.

The slider when measured from the circuit board to the top of the slider is 1". The length is 1 3/4". I will put some photos up.

It seems I've put my spare parts somewhere safe. ;) I did measure the eBay parts installed in the Polaris, though... they sit about 0.225" above the top surface of the Polaris. I'm sure you could put a spacer underneath the potentiometers to raise them a bit.
Datasheet linked from the eBay page:
It looks like there's 3.5 mm solder lead length.
