SO, I was just finishing a Sansui 5050 rescue and went to listen one more time and the volume pot broke. :cry:
SO, I'm checking out dual gang 250K pots and find out I have a center tap pot and they aren't around anymore. :cry:
SO, I see a post elsewhere that mentions building a voltage divider from the two hot legs for the center tap. :scratch2:
OK, I understand what that is all about but I'm a noob. Can someone explain what I need and what I need to do?
I think its a resistor from each hot leg to a point that will be the center tap and then a resistor to ground? :yes:? ? What values?
Something tells me it should be simple. Something tells me its a common problem to solve, I've seen center tap pots before. My Akai has one with a broken shaft.
Finding a donor is an option but that could be a while. The unit is not terribly valuable but it is all working and pretty and it seems a shame to scrap/part it.
