Need help finding pots for repair
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!

Not near the CE catalog but I have to imagine they were on the page with the similar Fender parts.
Ehh?

Re: Need help finding pots for repair
Have you called Hartke? I recently called Peavey and they had in stock the ten potentiometer sizes and values I needed (in a replacement part, not a NOS one, but the new ones worked anyways and were reasonably priced). They were really weird PCB mounted pots with an unconnected fourth lug for mounting where a 40% tap would usually be. And they were from the mid to late 80's. Not sure if Hartke is like Peavey in this regard (stocking hard to find replacement parts) but give them a call.

Call mouser or digikey they will source the part send you a page number to confirm and order.. Done. Option two. Call Hartke parts and service (whoever owns them now) and buy direct for $$$

Thanks everyone. I was actually posting because I emailed Samson last week, and didn't get a response... until about 5 minutes after I posted
I will call them tomorrow to see how much they wanna gouge me.
Mouser only seems to have 16mm Alphas with the long knurled shaft in 10K
Reverse Audio and 100K in Audio.
I did find a couple Marshall 16mm replacement pots that I somehow missed before, but I'll have to call to see if the shafts are 20mm.
