  • Acoustic pre-amp mini slider pots?

    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.
Working...
