Re: Resistor trim pots for Micromoog (need to find replacements)

2010-01-18 by mlcsixand78s

Thanks for replies! 


The closest examples I can find are:

Mouser

RS

All the above have 2 or 3 pins. The pots in the Micromoog have 4 pins.
However, 1 or 2 appear to be for mounting. I noticed some pins are
soldered to pads that are not part of circuit... My guess is I can 
make the above examples work as long as the specs are same 
and the correct pins can be attached to board...

Are the Minimoog type similar to above examples?
