Hi All...

Looking for parts (specifically Master Gain Stereo Pot) for a Shure
FP42 EFP Mixer.

I'd even buy a cheap unit to salvage parts to maintain the 6 I have.

Any Leads?

Cheers,

Chris W

Did the Shure Parts department come up dry? They are actually very good
about parts for older products.

If they did, do you have a manufacturer and a value?

shure service dealers)

Okay, so it's a 10K dual log taper pot. Get an old one out. Who is
the manufacturer listed on the package?

This is PC board mount, so at the absolute worst you should be able to
solder pigtail leads to a solder eyelet type.

Why are so many of these failing for you?

No Manufacturer stamp on the pot

Thats what I think I'm going to do.

I only had one fail...but we own lots and I get a bit concerned when
parts become diffucult to obtain. I found a similar panasonic pot
with a different footprint, I'll give it a shot and see...

Thanks for your help

When you try to keep a hardware product going beyond its factory
support life, you have to be willing and able to adapt and improvise.
The electrical function is fairly easy to replace, it's the mechanical
part that's tricky. The original manufacturer decides on his mechanical
layout and, if it doesn't fit a standard part, orders a custom part.
Once those are exhausted, they rarely order more, and the part
manufacturer doesn't keep any around and won't make one for you.

So it sometimes takes some inginuity to fit what you can get into what
you got.

Good luck. Keep your soldering iron and drill handy. And don't worry
about changing the appearance. This ain't "vintage" stuff.
