[thefyst]

Hi All,

Im having trouble sourcing a part. I need a [font="Verdana, Arial"][size="2"][font="Verdana, Arial"][size="-1"][font="Verdana, Arial"][size="2"]100K B CTR/CTS/DTNT pot, the fender part number is [font="Verdana, Arial"][size="2"][font="Verdana, Arial"][size="-1"][font="Verdana, Arial"][size="2"][b]0049443000.[/b][/size][/font][/size][/font][/size][/font][/size][/font][/size][/font][/size][/font]

if you know of anywhere i can get one of these without having to have it shipped from the USA or even a non-fender alternative i would appreciate the info.

Cheers

TF

That's a 100KΩ log pot.

Something like this http://doctortweek.co.uk/shop/article_193/Potentiometer-%5BAlpha-Pot%5D-100k-(Log).html would do the job electronically, but you need to make sure that the shaft length is long enough and the right type.

Not log, it's linear 100k pot, solid shaft, centre detent.

Also, if you want the real thing, have you tried contacting Fender GBI?

http://www.fender.com/en-GB/contact/

I would hope they could provide you with the part you need?

Also, what's the issue with getting it from the USA? Time? Taxes? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390659569904 ?

thanks for the replies, yeah i was hoping to have the part asap, a lot of the ebay listings say delivery could be several weeks. as far as i know there is know customs tax below a threshold of £15 ...might be wrong tho.

Newoldsounds may be an option but it still works out to about 11 quid and a 2 week wait just for a pot

Unfortunately i just realised the fender one is a 12 mm dia. and only just fits as it is. not convinced the 16 mm alpha pots would fit in.

Of course it is - it says 'B'.
That's what comes from posting at silly o clock in the morning.

Are you sure the body is 12mm? Is it this:



If the shaft is 6.3mm, the threaded part must be at least 9-10mm in diameter, looks like a 16mm body to me. You do get 12mm body pots, but they're not as common as 16 and 24.

This is a 12mm pot for comparison:

[neepheid]

If the body size is 16 then although it's the wrong shaft type (split not solid) but might still do a job - 100k lin, 16mm, centre detent - in Germany. Have ordered stuff from them before (had to find a 1Meg reverse log pot for a G&L).

Yeah that looks like the right one, had to double check but its definately 12 mm.

gonna see if I can cram a 16mm one in tomorrow. probably got a spare cts one I can test it out with.

okie dokie just crammed a 16mm cts pot in there and its super snug but it goes in. Gonna go for the german website an see how that goes.

I requested postage as a letter rather than as a package...not sure how that will go... saved about a fiver tho

will report back in approx 5 days.

Delivery was pretty quick, the pot was allmost an exact match apart from the shaft length wich was remedied with liberal application of the dremel
