Vintage Simmons Drums (UK) Users Group

Hi and welcome (again)!

When I bought my SDS-1's a bunch of years ago I was no soldering master 
but I simply desoldered one pot and brought it with me to a good store 
(in that case Elfa here in Sweden) and returned with what I needed (I 
think I had two broken pots). Browsing for the right dimensions can be a 
b*tch but there are good suppliers out there of most things.

Good luck!
