Re: [vintagesynthrepair] Roland D-5 pitchbend potentiometer - need a replacement

2009-02-12 by Russell Rose

all 4 legs of this pot go "somewhere"  according to D5 SCHEMATIC.
the fourth leg is a tap, we have replacements, where do you want it  
sent?
please dont say Canada, Russ
actually i think we can surface-mail to canada wihout too much hassle.
