Hi
I have 2 acoustic guitar onboard pre-amps in need of mini slider pot replacement.
One is a Fishman Prefix Plus the other a local Aussie Maton AP 5.
The prefix + is breaking into oscillation due to poor tracking of the fader pots in the quasi parametric midrange.
Unfortunately it has been discontinued I have contacted the local agent who says
"Fishman doesn't supply parts".
Is this the case or do they supply pots etc in the U.S.A. ?
They appear to be Alpha faders with 20mm travel and appear to be hard to get
apart from this link at Mouser
Mouser Electronics - Electronic Component Distributor 312219bf
Mouser ref 312-219BF
One of them is a B100K dual double gang which I presume is a custom job and only available as a spare.
Are there any other avenues I could explore as it seems ridiculous to have to buy a whole new preamp for the sake of a faulty pot !
The Maton AP5 just has a severed track on the volume pot ..must have had a thump
or a toxic drink spilt in it!
It too is a 20mm travel fader but a no name brand. (5KB)
I have contacted Maton but apparently the person who knows is away for a while.
Any suggestions welcomed.
