CTS pot help

[fleabag]

Can anyone point me to any shop selling a CTS 250k Solid Shaft Linear pot ?

 

Forget Ebay.  Northwest Guitars offer one , which i bought, and when it turned up it was a  Log pot. I messaged them ,

and they said that auction was for an Audio Taper pot only, but failed to see that their auction actually said it was for either Log or Lin. Numpties.

It seems they're rarer than a straight answering politician

I did try them but they only have the short shaft  ( 6mm ) instead of the regular / medium 9.5mm

[Random Guitarist]

There's a drop down option on that page for shaft length which has a 9.5 choice?

[fleabag]

Ah yes, i know. They dont have any.

 

I did search many many sites long before i posted here

Good luck, Banzai in Germany is selling it: https://www.banzaimusic.com/cts-dimple-ss-250k-lin.html

Thanks H

 

6.96 Euro is a good price, but the shipping is 8.95 Euro ... ouch !

 

I'll keep that link just in case i have no luck elsewhere in the UK.

You’re right @fleabag  Can’t find one anywhere. 

[BassBunny]

Is there any reason why you can't use a split shaft? Even as a temporary measure.

I'm assuming CTS is another victim of the pandemic upheavals? Supplies of some of their pots seem to have been patchy for months now. When I was looking for stacked 250k pots a while back, the only seller I could find with stock was in the US and wanted $15 plus $25 AUD each to ship them! Ouch! 

 

Hope you eventually track down what you're looking for.

All a bit of a mystery.  Still,  no hurry right now.  I dont need one till next year. Perhaps things will change in a couple of months
