Title: 5kC 24mm shaft pots anywhere?
Post by: pauloman80 on July 24, 2010, 01:09:26 AM
Want to build a Slambox. Found some cool knobs at Radio Shack, but they're for 24mm shafts. I can't seem to find any reverse audio pots w/ 24mm shafts, let alone in 5k. Can anyone help me out here? Would like three of 'em. Or if you have another solution, I'm all ears. Thanks!

I'm confused... I didn't think there was a difference between the shafts. 24mm and 16mm refers to the wafer inside the pot. There are different types of shafts, but it isn't the size of the pot that's the difference.

Well, if that's right, I'll be saved a lot of trouble.  :P  ;D

both the body and the bushing dia are different, but it refers to the lug spacing. if using the solid shaft, then the shafts are the same, you can use set screw knobs made for 1/4" shaft.

btw, mouser now has reverse audio taper----look on the 16mm page.

Yeah, I was wayyyy off as to what the 16mm vs. 24mm meant. =) I took the knobs off a Krank build I did and fit one of the new knobs I got on it, fit snugly & perfectly. 

Tell you what, I always have trouble finding stuff on Mouser's site, sooooo much stuff and hard to navigate.  Bleh.  Just me, I guess.  Thanks!
