Re: [Simmons Drums] potentiometer values on sds 200

2016-12-31 by John Simmons

All the knobs are gone on the unit, as are the CEM chips, and it apparently was not working before it was stripped, so it would cost more to restore it then to buy a working sds 200. But it turns out all the pots are 100k, so they'd only be good to steal the shafts from.

       If you can get an sds200 for so cheap that
 this makes sense, then you should be buying it get it
 fixed!
 Good call on
 replacing the pot stems, I'd never thought of that, my
 SDS9 has one broken pot stem, so I'll be looking into
 that. It's one of the trigger level pots and I use mine
 via midi, so its not a big deal, but I still feel sad
 whenever I see that missing knob.
 I have a few pots on my SDS that
 seem to be in need of cleaning or replacing, so if somebody
 does have a good source of sds9 pots I'd love to
 know.

       Hi, does anyone know the potentiometer values used
 on the SDS 200?  I need some of the 4.7k pots for an sds 9
 (3 broken shafts and one bad ), and was considering buying a
 broken sds 200 just for the pots. But if they're all
 100k ones or some other value I may not bother.
 
 
 
 Thanks!
