does anyone know where i can find a replacement 25k center tap for my micromoog the substrate has cracked in half causing only one side of the pot to work. any suggestions?
thanks
That’s going to be a very hard part to find. One, since these are board mounted pots the replacement has to fit the same footprint as the original. Two, potentiometers with center taps are not common parts with low quantity distributors.
Probably the only source is a dead Micromoog to scavenge for parts.
They are hard to find - but it is possible to actually make one as well…!
If you get a standard 25K pot and take it apart - it is possible to very carefully drill a very small hole (0.6mm) half way around and through the edge of conductive track - but just out of the wipers way and put in a small pin/rivet onto which you can attach a very fine wire. Bring the wire out and glue it to the case.
I’ve done this in the past - it’s slightly hit and miss - and time consuming but when all else fails.
And standard pots are cheap enough to experiment on.
Cheerz,
