I've found a variety of Dual Taper pots for use as a volume control, but all have 2 rows of 3 contacts where the one in my system is 2x4. There are legs that, on the backside of the board, connect with the balance control mounted just below the volume.
I have a STA-2500 receiver and the only thing wrong with it, presently, is the volume which doesn't work anymore at the lower volumes. OK, I know, I could just listen at higher volumes. Now that we've gotten that jest out of the way maybe we can work on a suitable solution.
I thought about using something lower or higher value, but not sure what the repercussions are. I assumed (wrongly?) that a (ex) 300k would mean the dial would have to be turned more for equivalent level. If I got this backwards, no worries. I would be just fine with a different value, that may require turning the volume more for more equivalent "level", as long as it fits.
Anymore info required? Let me know. I can post images if needed.
Any solution will help MANY RS receiver owners as they share the same or similar pot for the same vintage receivers. I believe the one I have installed now came from a STA-2600 or 2700, can't recall now. It's also the most common part to go out.
