I believe these are made by alps and they're similar to the pots zvex uses on pedals like the seek wah. The solder lugs need to be 90 deg. in reference to the shaft so I can mount them as pictured below. Also notice that the shaft has a pointer line on it. I've checked mouser, digikey etc... and no one seems to stock these. The values I'd like to get are:
50K linear
200K audio (or 250K)
200K linear (or 250K)
25K linear

Checking I saw they are offering momentary DPDT footswitches like the ones you might need for the Baja Silent Selector .

I can't stand the cheap-o 4PDT used in the fOXX F/W/V re-issues. It's possible that they've started using a better part, but the on in mine is a Knitter MPG406N w/ a little plastic cap. Not enough shaft length to really fine-tune the engagement of the Wah/Volume & no real tactile click so it's hard to tell until you hear the change. Also, many reports of these failing.

Anyone have experience w/ a better switch?

As in the title. I've got a DD-3 with a scratched to heck faceplate & no knobs. Anyone gots them?

The OD-855 series... looks like:

whats the cheapest 9v dc regulated adapter? what about 18v?

Where can I find clear shaft pots that can be illuminated via an LED like the ones T-Rex is using? I know mouser sells clear shaft pots from Alpha but they don't have a pointer line and they don't even come in 1meg.

I bought this 5e3 Tweed Deluxe chassis some time back, thinking it a fast and cheap job to complete it. I got stuck trying to source the components... have a look at

24mm Alpha log 1M potentiometer:
1,40 € muzikding.com
1,43 € banzaieffects.com
1,50 € uk-electronic.de
1,60 € tube-town.de (1M not in stock, price for pots up to 500k)
2,35 € jukebox-revival.nl
2,75 € tubeampdoctor.de

Now a pot isn't very tube amp specific: let's look for a

1/2W Carbon Comp Resistor 1k-1M range

I have found an ebayer from china who sells large assortments of panasonic poly film capacitors.
I want to ask you if there is a possibility that they are fake and not real panasonic.
How can I know this?
Admins tell me if i can post link to ebay auction to get some help from the experts (and also if i have posted in the correct section)

hongkongsuperseller, yep, the ebay seller,

Somehow, with his pretty often pretty decent prices always seems to turn me off:

examples:
Item A: price X + price Y for shipping, totalling price Z
ItemB: Price X1 + free shipping, totalling price Z

Combined shipping means a discount of a few cents on each item, making up for rediculous shipping charges

Which means that where I could make up quite a large order, I'm alway turned off by the shipping which gives me a feeling of being ripped off...

Does anybody know a source for such DC-jacks (used by ARIA in the 80´s) ?

Important is the flange !

thanks in advance,

Hi everyone: i want to buy a bulk of alpha pots and i wanted to get a better prices than the ones at smallbear or effectsconnection. So i started looking for the manufacturer website to ask about prices, minimum order,shipping quotes, etc. And i found that there are two different websites for the alpha company ,one located in california and the other in taiwan. But The taiwan website claims that they do not have branches in U.S.A. so im kind of confused :scratch:

So, the question here is, who...

Die cast aluminum cases and 3pdt switches are not available in local electronic stores near where I live.
I was thinking about using ebay, but some of them are quite expensive.
Where is the cheapest place to get all these parts?

and who make them thank you

Hi all, I recently heard the difference betweena regular cord (guitar>amp) and an Evidence Lyric HG. It was a massive improvement in tone. I currently use George L's, and they were an improvement over the garden-variety too. So clearly I'm thinking of going with all new cables.

Anyway, this being a hardcore DIY community, I was wondering if anyone here knows of a cable supplier that might offer the kind of cable Evidence uses. Let's face it, they're not melting down the copper themselves;...

I just put in a order, and forgot to put in some pnp sili's that i wanted to try in the Fuzz Factory.. Anybody got 2N4402 or the like that they want to sell me?

Havent found any threads on this.

Its a replacement mn3007 / 1024 BBD chip.

I have used NTE parts in the past, resistors, caps..things like that, but how are the IC's from NTE? They anny good?

Yeah, does chips that are like HEF4049, or HCF4093, are the same thing as CD4049 and CD4093?

anybody know where i can get a asst of some decent caps? the closest thing i could find was orange drops, but these are rather large, and it wasn't that spectacular of a deal. i'm not looking for any super expensive hifi crap-just something that is not bottom of the barrel. somebody selling polypropolene's in surplus maybe? i found this guy's site but apparently he took a spill and broke his shit. he is going to be out for the duration . shame too- he had some good deals. iv'e done a bit of...

Up for sale is lots of NOS tropical fish caps...

Around 200 0.022mF
50 or so 0.033mF
80 or so 0.047mF
50 or so 0.083mF
4 0.22mF

I am asking $85 plus shipping for the whole lot.

Hi all,

Parts Express sells 4 dust caps (you know, the center domes in loudspeakers) for about a buck apiece. The local hardware store has cheap hacksaw blades and 4 blue plastic electrical junction box covers. If you've got a drill, a pop rivet tool and some contact cement you're in business.

Drill out the holes in the hacksaw blade to about the size you'll need for speaker bolts. If you're doing 12 speakers the holes are nearly perfectly spaced for mounting the blocker between the speaker...

I hope I posted this in the right place.

Do you know this company?
