Where to find a 500k / 500k stacked spilit-shaft pot?

[Fionn]

Looking to replace a stacked tone / volume pot on my Aria SB.

I've looked on all the guitar part websites but I can find one anywhere. It's a 500k / 500k stacked pot with a split shaft.

Does anyone know where I can find one?

Some John East preamps have concentric pots with a split upper shaft. May be worth having a chat with John to see if he can point you in the direction of a supplier. (http://www.east-uk.com/)

Thanks for those links, gents.

It's definately the split shaft that I'm after though. The old SB knob wont fit otherwise.

I'll contact Mr East. Thanks for the suggestion.

scroll down the page, you'll find split shafted alpha pots with the 500k, they're log pots, hope that works for you!

I've still had nae luck finding the goodies.

As said before ... 500k / 500k stacked pot, with a split shaft.

If anyone can point me in the right direction I'll build a temple in their honour.

I've had trouble sourcing these in the past. Solid shaft, fine. Split shaft non-concentric, fine. Split & concentric but 250k, fine. But 500k, split concentric... Nope.

I had to order from China off eBay, took 18 weeks to arrive and it was rubbish, so I wont recommend.

Can I suggest that you get one of the solid shaft CTS ones, and replace the knobs. not sure what ones you have but many are available as both split shaft and solid shaft type?

Or you could go for a facelift, replace all the pots and knobs with solid kind?

I had an Aria 5 String Jazz and the balance pot broke: they sent me another one FOC!
