SX100 Sensitivity Pot replacement

 

Discovered an issue with the pot for the sensitivity. Having intermittent connection and losing audio. That pot was a real pain to get out but managed to work it out.
Its a 10k linear, but looking around online, not seeing something similar. Tons of stuff for a guitar amp. But those dont quite fit the bill size wize.?
Suggestions?
I have taken the pot apart and will try to clean it and lube it but not sure it will be successful.?
Was buttoning up the radio after putting on the faceplate thats when the problem surfaced.
Wife said should have left it off and let it play.....I didnt say anything...she just doesnt understand. lol
 

Keith,

? ? You might want to check with this fellow.

I sent them an email. Hopefully they have one.
I really dont want to pull one out of another SX chassis thats here.
But if it comes down to it, thats what I will do
 

Suggest you try Digitkey part number RV4N103C-ND which is made by Precision Electronics Corp manufacturer number RV4NAYSD103A. This is for a carbon resistance element. If you want a wire wound pot suggest you search for an old Clarostat RA20SASD103A on Ebay. I find several there.
 

Thank you so much. Thats exactly what I need. This is not a wire wound version. Going to stay with what was installed.?
 

New pot for the sensitivity arrived today. Popped it and problem cured. Guess when putting the faceplate back on, the original just gave up the ghost. It was very stiff to turn in comparison to the new one. Now to get the faceplate back on and align the dials. Off just a tiny bit and do an rf alignment.
