Okay, it's a boring one, a Hartke 3500 bass amp. Two if the pot shafts were broken off on the road and I've volunteered to replace them. The pits I'm looking for are 16mm with PC pins and the 20mm long knurled shafts. These are pretty common it seems in consumer gear like this, but I can't seem to find the two values I need: 10K and 100K linear. Help!

If I recall, these are soldered to wires, not the pc board? If so, then the size and shape don't matter. Or are we talking litle controls, not the main volumes?
I just found Mouser selling a selection of 10k linear 16mm with knurled shaft, I didn't look for 100k.
AES has 10k and 100k 16mm knurled shaft too

Mouser has the long shaft 16mm pots in many shaft variations, all the way up to 1M
They've really increased the selection of pots and I've been able to find just about every type I've needed.Comment

Thanks, Enzo. No, the amp's pots have PC pins. The only 16mm Alphas I could find on Mouser with long knurled shafts were 10K Reverse Audio and 100K audio. I think those the AES pots might do the trick though if the shafts are 20mm. Thanks.
And Drewl, if you have any Mouser links for what I'm looking for I'd appreciate it. It wouldn't be the first time the Mouser filters have let me down.

The pots have pc pins, but are they soldered to a board or do they have wires coming off? I recall the volume controls on a 3500 as being lonesome controls mounted higher up the panel. So do they NEED to be pc pins?
How long do your shafts have to be?

Those are 15mm shaft, not enough?Education is what you're left with after you have forgotten what you have learned.Comment

Thanks, Enzo. They are soldered directly into the board. I think those pots may work, they just wouldn't go all the way into the knob.Originally posted by Enzo View PostComment

Well, the AES ones look like longer shafts to me.Education is what you're left with after you have forgotten what you have learned.Comment

page 540 of my catalog, several versions of these pots
p/n#'s 313-1000F-value
'' -2000F-value
all the way to 313-4000F-value etc. depending on the type of shaft/detents/audio/linear with all common values.Comment

Have we tried contacting Samson Technologies?
Are they out of them?Comment

I've gotten parts directly from Hartke(samson) and never had any problems. Had to order those crazy sliders with the LED's in them. No sweat.Comment

yep same in the UK (assuming you're not!), ordered parts from them quite a few times. Prices they offered me as a repairer were not exactly cheap as wholesale but not Mesa Boogie-ish terrifying eitherComment
