Hi folks

Can anyone tell me where I might find a source in the UK for the 100k pots as used in an OD-3 volume control? I dropped the pedal which landed on the pot and bent it, of course when I tried to straighten it the little bugger snapped off. If I can't get the proper item I may have to squeeze a standard 16mm one in.

Thanks

David

I contacted Roland UK for parts for an OD-2. I never did buy them, but the prices were what I considered to be quite reasonable. So yeah, drop them a mail.

Found the e-mail so just for a guide, here's what I had asked for....

13279787 level pot. x1 (OD-2 pot)
2247726100 knob x1 (OD-2 knob)
22157702R0 guide bush x8 (the rubber grommits)
40125101 thumb screws. x4

The price including delivery was £7.50. They did say 4-6 weeks delivery, as they got the stock sent in, and depending on customs clearance etc....

Can't find the part number for the OD-3, but the 100k level pot out of an OD-2 is this number: 13279759

Should be a direct replacement if you buy it from Roland.

Hey Laurie, that's a different part number than I got from the guy at Roland UK for the OD-2 level pot? Maybe a good idea that I didn't order it...

Hmm... often there are different numbers for the same part. Probably all it is.

Thanks but it doesn't look like they have the grooves in the shaft for the Boss style push fit knobs.

A quick update on this, the pot arrived today, exactly 7 days after I phoned Roland UK and paid via credit card.

A most excellent service!
