Ampeg VT-22 Question...

MHosinski · 07-03-2007, 07:17 AM

I'm trying to restore an old ampeg vt-22 combo and I'm having a hell of a time finding potentiometers with the d-shaped (flat) shaft. Does anyone have a clue where these can be found? I've looked all over (mojo, antique electronic supply, ampwares, etc.). I'd hate to have to bite the bullet and replace the knobs too - I'd like to keep the original aluminum ones.

In an emergency you can cut the "D" shape into the pot shaft with an Exacto saw. Most of the shafts are aluminum so its not too tough.

Or use a small grind wheel with your Dremel - world's most useful shop addition.
