SDS9 Potentiometers
2012-11-26 by realmsteel
Hello all. I just joined the group. I've got a SDS9 with a broken knob. The shaft broke off right at the base. I went to a surplus electronics place and bought a few different pots hoping to swap parts, but to no avail. They didn't have any 100k pots near the size needed. I bought some that had different values, the parts didn't interchange with the factory pots. Does anyone know of a supplier and part number where I can order a pot that will fit the space? I ordered one from Digikey that I'm hoping will work, but if someone can offer a known good fit pot I can get in the US, I may order one of them. Thanks, Rich

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! -- electronically yours, jesper - -- --- ---- ----- ---- --- -- - www.electronic-obsession.se realmsteel skrev 2012-11-26 01:33:

Hey Rich. Let me know if the one from Digikey doesn't work. I have some. Ed --- In Simmons_Drums@yahoogroups.com, "realmsteel" <realmsteel@...> wrote:

When I bought mine it had a broken pot & a helpful chap on this forum - Ed Rose - had a SDS9 that he was breaking & sold me a couple of pots & knobs. Might be worth trawling the forum to pm him on the offchance he's got any left. Was a couple of years ago though. He was also in the US.

Thanks Ed. I hope to get the ones(I ordered 2) in a couple days. I ordered 2 in case I needed to modify one and screwed it up. At $0.84 ea, I could just through them away and not sweat it. I'm also thinking about replacing the battery, but need to do a little searching before starting a new thread. --- In Simmons_Drums@yahoogroups.com, "Ed" <edrose1@...> wrote:

I received the pots from Digikey. I think they will work fine though a different knob will need o be used. That will be OK as I don't have the broken off knob anyway. If it bothers me too much, I will replace all the old pots with new ones and get all matching knobs. I put up a picture in an Album called Realm Steel. I listed the part number in case anyone wants to do the same. One thing I didn't do was cut the back so I could create a solder pin for the body. If it moves, I will just hot glue it.
