Emax

Hi,

the data and volume sliders of my emax II don't work fine anymore. Sometimes they skip parts or if I enter the lowest/highest level they jump to the opposite value. Recalibrating and cleaning did not help...

I'm wondering if these could replace them or which specifications should I keep in mind?:

Is it difficult to change them or is it just desoldering the old ones replacing them by the new ones?

Thank you very much and a nice weekend!

Best regards
Freddy

you need through hole pots they dont sell them they only do 

pcb mounted with solder lugs those ones fit to slots in a pcb and mounting holes  then you use flying leads to solder to them

you need alpha pot sliders but they need to be solder through hole mounted

as long as you measure the length and the pins

best bet would be to desolder 1 the data one as you can still use the up down keys to scroll through the display

the emax1 has brand new sliders on it i will try and dig through my receipts toi find where i brought it from

looking at those sliders they are through hole but weather they are the same fitting is another question

as the ones on the emaxes have through hole lugs on the external casing for solder mounting to the pcb

and the ones on that site they dont which means that the solder terminals are the machanical connection also unlike the originals as the machanical strength is the external metal case which is soldered to the pcb aswell

if i remember right there are 7 solder connection or 5 solder connections

4 machanical and 1+2 for the pot

or its 2 for machanical 1 on oposite sides and 1+2 for the pot

ask for a machanical drawing so that you can see dimensions and so you can measure for correct replacement if you cant get the metal case with solder lugs you can get some solid solder pins and solder them to the pcb and to the sides of the metal housing to give you a strong machanical connection
