Potentiometers:
| Brand | Model | Location | Orig. Type | New Manufacturer | New Model No. | Link to Product | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moog | Minimoog | Mixer: Oscillators 1-3, Ext. Input, Noise | 25k Linear, Allen-Bradley Type J | Precision Electronics Corporation | RV4NAYSD253A | Digi-Key | |
| Moog | Minimoog | Mod Wheel | 50k Linear, Allen-Bradley Type J | Precision Electronics Corporation | RV4NAYSD503A | Digi-Key | |
| Simmons | SDS9 | Editing Pots | 4.7k Linear, plastic shaft, 4mm, hand-shaped to D-shaft | TT Electronics | P160KNP-0QC20B4K7 | 858-P160KNP0QC20B4K7 | This is a 6mm serrated shaft replacement with solder lugs. You need to make a modification for this to work: 1. Compress the solder lugs back to straight legs (i.e., squish the hole away). 2. Snip off one side of the original solder lug leaving a half-width leg 3. Use flat pliers to remove the bend in the leg forming a simple L shape 4. The legs will now fit through the holes on the board correctly. |
| Simmons | SDS9 | Audio Pots | 100k Linear, plastic shaft, 4mm, hand-shaped to D-shaft | TT Electronics | P160KNP-0QC20B100K | 858-P160KNP0C20B100K | Perform the same steps as above for the Editing pots. You will also need to add ground lead to the back of the main output pot. Use flux and solder a piece of wire to the center, then solder this to the ground on the board. The bottom of the pot should lie flush with the board when done. |
| Simmons | SDS9 | Knobs (all) | Cliff K85 4mm D-shaft (CL17085) | Cliff | CL17097 | K85-14X18-BLK-M | The 4mm knobs are still available, but this is a knob for the 6mm listed above. |
| Simmons | SDS9 | Knob caps (blue) | Cliff K85 CAPS BLUE | Cliff | K85 CAPS BLUE | K85-BLU-L | |
| Simmons | SDS9 | Knob caps (grey) | Cliff K85 CAPS BLUE | Cliff | K85 CAPS GREY | K85-GRY-L |
