fleabag Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I'm struggling to find some 250k Lin pots with a decent thread length on the bush, and also solid shaft. 15mm - ish threaded bush length is what i need. I checked for the quality names , CTS, Bourns.. but nothing pops up. Either they're split shaft, or short threaded bush, or both. Tried all the usual suspects - Axes R Us, CPC Farnell, RS Online, Mouser Elecs , guitar shops blah blah. Even Thomann .. Can anyone point me to a source ?

PaulThePlug Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) ^ When i was looking... think it was for an Ibanez... i had to make do with a spline shaft... and make sure the grub screw of the knob alignes with the slot of the pot shaft.

Passinwind Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 15mm bush length is a huge ask outside of the usual Les Paul type, even 12mm takes a custom order in most cases. If you can make 10mm work Noll sells one, 6mm shaft diameter though: https://www.noll-electronic.de/potentiometer/ I've used a lot of other similar Alpha variants from Noll with no drama, FWIW. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 If you're after 1/4" solid shaft pots (ie. typical US size) then another option might be to get some of these little brass sleeves which convert 6mm split shaft to 1/4" solid: https://www.wdmusic.com/wd-music-products-brass-potentiometer-shaft-conversion-sleeve-details.html That opens up your options to include metric long shaft pots which may be easier to find (although I'm not sure if they are!). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could get away 10mm of bush thread, but i forgot to mention, i'm after full size pots. Strangely, i have a pair of Solid shaft 10mm thread, 6.35 shaft, CTS 250k Lin pots here, and i need another pair, but JHC, i cant find them anywhere. I'd really like matching brand, but no luck, hence looking for non matching pair Edited August 1, 2022 by fleabag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324706979045 ? Or is the threaded part too short? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
