(NOS) SAE BALANCE SLIDER POT

ORIGINAL ALPS/NEW OLD STOCK



EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND 100K BALANCE CONTROL SLIDER POT.   

THIS IS THE EXACT REPLACEMENT FOR THE MARK XXX, MARK IX, 2900, AND 3000 PREAMPS.    HERE IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPLACE THE BROKEN BALANCE CONTROL.   IMPROVE THE LOOKS AND INCREASE THE VALUE OF YOUR VINTAGE SAE PREAMP.

IT WILL ALSO WORK IN THE 2100/2100L PREAMPS.  IT'S EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL SLIDER, BUT HAS THE STANDARD LENGTH SLIDER SHAFT.     THE ORIGINAL BALANCE SLIDERS FOR THE 2100 PREAMPS WERE SPECIAL ORDER FROM ALPS WITH AN EXTENDED LENGTH SHAFT.    THIS ALLOWED THE LONGER SHAFT TO REACH THROUGH THE DOUBLE THICKNESS FACE PLATE.

THE STANDARD LENGTH SHAFT IS 3/8" SHORTER THAN THE EXTENDED LENGTH.  WHEN THE STANDARD LENGTH SLIDER IS INSTALLED, YOU HAVE ABOUT 1/2 INCH OF SHAFT TO ATTACH THE KNOB.    DROP A BIT OF SUPER GLUE INTO THE KNOB AND ATTACH KNOB TO SHAFT......PUSH IT ON, BUT ALLOW ENOUGH ROOM SO IT WON'T RUB AGAINST THE FACE PLATE.     LOOKS GOOD AND WORKS FINE.   I'VE REPAIRED A LARGE NUMBER OF BALANCE CONTROLS IN THIS MANNER.  THE ONLY DIFFERENCE YOU MAY SPOT IS THAT THE KNOB IS CLOSER TO THE FACE, THAN WITH THE ORIGINAL EXTENDED LENGTH SLIDER.

ALL ALPS SLIDERS HAVE BEEN OUT OF PRODUCTION FOR A COUPLE OF DECADES.   THE EXTENDED LENGTH SLIDERS ARE VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND, UNLESS YOU STEAL ONE FROM A PARTS UNIT.    UNFORTUNATELY, THE EXTENDED LENGTH ALSO MADE THEM MORE PRONE FOR SHAFT BREAKAGE.
THE NEXT AVAILABLE OPTION IS THE STANDARD LENGTH SLIDERS, AND THERE ARE NOT MANY OF THOSE AROUND EITHER.    
IT'S BEST TO PURCHASE WHILE STILL AVAILABLE, CAUSE ONCE THEY ARE GONE......

SLIDERS ARE INSPECTED, CHECKED, AND ID MARKED BEFORE SHIPPING.
