JCM800 2205 Dual Gang Pot Source

[misterc57]

I'm having a hard time finding a replacement dual gang 24mm A1M gain pot for a 4212 aka 2205.

Willing to do a solder lug but not finding anything with knurled split shaft.

Do not want to order from eBay and/or overseas.

My usual suspects (Tube Depot, Digikey, Mouser, amplified parts) have nothing in stock.

Read a similar 2013 thread " Source for replacement 1M dual gang pot for JCM800" with no results.

Any 2025 suggestions please?

Thank you, Mark

The only place I can find them is on eBay. Why are you opposed to buying them from eBay? I wouldn't buy active components from eBay because of all the Chinese fakes, but you should be pretty safe buying pots.

Pots yes. Would question Alpha full size. Trimmers no, Bourns made in Mexico, shipping from China. Probably fake.

Found none on eBay that are not in a foreign country and that one is about $36 with shipping and with "who knows what" the tariff may be that day could end up being double or triple that amount.

May end up buying a solder lug unit with solid shaft from Tube Depot. I may have a screw on knob that is similar to the "push on" and if not, "function over form".

Just curious... would a 500K do the job or create an issue?

Thank you

Buy one of each and swap out splines.

I would go with a 24mm solder lug version (just so the bushing fits the hole better) and a set screw knob. amprepairparts has singles of the knob.
Not sure what the bushing diameter is of the tubedepot pot, but amppartsdirect has both 1/4 and 3/8 inch bushing size for A1M dual pot.
