Korg MS-20 spares.

Post by Plastic Hassle » Sat Mar 14, 2009 3:26 pm

Hi,
Bit of a mission impossible but I'm trying to source a replacement volume pot for a Korg MS-20. Any ideas?

Isn't there any markings on it? Else, any electronics shop should be able to measure it and can probably get you a replacement. I doubt it's particularly exotic.

Now if you need the knob too, that's a different thing, that can be hard to find. Try eBay and expect silly prices...

Anyway, if anyone knows the specs by heart, it's the folks on the Synth DYI mailing list. We're talking people with McGyver-like skills here! :)

Maybe these guys are even better to ask:

They have a web site too and the MS-20 service manual is there.

I couldn't find the specs for the volume pot though. But maybe it's just my ol' man's eyes...

As slirak said, I'd have thought you should be able to get a replacement at electronics shop, but if not maybe look here: http://www.vintageplanet.nl/

Any electronics parts supplier will be able to help you out make sure that apart from the value you get the right type (LOG or LIN) that's all.

Thanks for the replies. I should have been more specific, it's actually just the plastic knob I'm looking for.
