Thanks Scott!
I was just worried about whatever material the Mackie pots are made of
having problems with the chemicals because I thought I read someplace
about plastic pots vs metal and carbon pots (old stuff) having
different requirements as far as flushing and re-lubing.
Yup, but you probably won't see carbon pots on many new designs today,
Uh ?
What do you think the resistive element on all those Alps, Panasonic, Alpha
etc pots is made of ?
Plastic with embedded carbon. Not pure carbon.
The one's I've seen still have a carbon track deposited on a phenolic pcb. The
*body* of the pot is moulded but not the track. And that includes Alps.
You can get pure carbon pots still; the Type Js are still in the A-B
catalogue and some of the real cheapies from China are carbon element.
I'm sure you'll find the bulk of pots used in mixers are still carbon track
based.
