  • Push/Push DPDT guitar pot switches????

    Hello...

    Awhile back I bought some 250K 'push on/push off' DPDT switching control pots for my guitar. These had a long, large diameter screw bushing so they could be installed in a Les Paul. I can't remember where I got them. I looked in StewMac,
    Digikey, Mouser, and other places and can't find them anywhere.

    Anybody know where these are sold?

    Thank you,

    There appears to be 500K P/P Long Shaft pots here.
    Still haven't found any 250K...

      If you can get a 250k short shaft pot of the same make, you can disassemble the pot's can, and swap the resistive element with the 500k long shaft.

      I can't find 250k long shafts either, so this is what I have done in the past.

        Thank you,

        I've been looking all over for those pots! I just can't for the life of me remember where they came from...

                Allparts is the first place I checked. They have 2 models of 250k Push/Pull pots. Unfortunately, Allparts lacks good descriptions of some of their products, and neither specifically says "long shaft". This one in particualr has a terrible photo, but appears to be from a different manufacturer than the other 250k Push/Pull.

                I guess it warrants a phone call, but I'm guessing they don't have long shaft push/pull pots. My assumption is based on the standard long shaft pots, which have the following description:
