Swine Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I have been reading up on what requirements are necessary for pots/faders ect. And just to make sure i need to get 10k linear ones, correct? I recently purchased a busted denon dj mixer for $5 on ebay just to take apart as a learning experience and then decided to see what i could salvage from it to put towards my midibox. (i know have a tested/working core + lcd screen) -the markings on the line (not necessarily linear?) faders i took out are "119-20KBx2" now if i am reading this correctly, the resistance on this can be twice as much as i want for my MB? I think the B does mean it is linear? The fader has 8 (four on each side) metal legs (non of which are for stability) and two have been broken off for the assembly of the mixer. -the markings on the pots are "103B 115C" does this mean it can be linear or log? it does have 7 "input" legs. -the one i bought from smash tv says clearly "B10K" so at least that one is easy :Dboth of the faders are alps faders/pots and ive started looking for data sheets on them and i can only figure out which fader i MIGHT have from the picture havnt yet decoded the writing on the side for sure. so i am a little confused as to the letters for linear/log faders. i understand that the A vs B printed on them changed some time ago and from country to country. i also "ripped" out some switches and pushbuttons but those are either on-off or on-on switches and i am assuming that virtually any switch like that will work. any input or links will be GREATLY appreciated.

stryd_one Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 20KBx2 is probably 20Kohm (which is acceptable) B could be linear or log, depends on manufacturer - test it with your multimeter to find out for sure.... x2 will be because it'll be stereo. You'll only need one of those channels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
