Bent vol/tone on Sire P7

[lobematt]

My Sire P7 recently took a tumble forwards from its' stand and has bent the vol/tone stacked pot. Would any vol/tone replacement pot do the job? Something like this?

I think you'll find all the pots on the Sire pre-amp are mounted on the circuit board. That type of pot won't do, they are PCB mount pots and you will need an exact replacement.

Ah dang. I've messaged Sire to see if they sell parts as I can't find anything on Google!

Hope you are successful, however from picking up the chatter on various social media sites, I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Even trying to buy a complete pre-amp proved an impossible task. It could be the situation we are in that is causing supply issues.

If you are prepared to buy a complete pre-amp, a post in the Wanted section might get you one as a few have been swapped out for East pre-amps.

Failing that a tech that is happy to deal at component level on pcb's might be able to identify the values and size needed.

Good luck getting it sorted.

Might have to eat humble pie here and you might be lucky 

Apparently there are 2 versions of the pre-amp. Earlier ones had a circuit board for some of the pots but looks like the Vol and Blend are stand alone.

Might be worth having a look.

If there is space, you might be able to wire the pot to the board. But only if there's space.
