Vintage Parts

(1/1)

Roger Kidder:
Hey-ho, y'all!

I'm an FNG on this forum and this is my first inquiry for help.

So I have been refurbishing the Guild "The New Englander Stereophonic HiFi" from 1960. All is going well but I have determined that the Treble pot needs to be replaced; it's dropping out on the right channel unless I manage to get the shaft on the "sweet spot". Further testing ruled out everything but the pot. In any case, the pot is ganged with a 2" shaft and my search online has revealed very little information about the availability of replacements. Would anyone here know of a reliable resource for vintage electronic parts? I would settle for some place to cross reference the pot's model number to one that is available. Any ideas? Thanks for your indulgence.

Sir Thrift-a-Lot:
Have you first tried cleaning the pot with DeOxit?   I usually only replace a pot if the shaft is completely seized.

Kingman:
Welcome to the forum Roger! Post some pics of your system please!

ataudio:
Deoxit and fader lube....def +1 on that recommendation!

F1nut:
There are a lot of treble potentiometers out there. To help find the proper replacement you need to know what the proper ohm value is and if it has a center detent. Your current pot should have the ohm value marked on it.
