Title: Can't find B2M pots for my Sharkfin
Post by: das234 on May 10, 2014, 07:24:50 PM
Anybody know where to get B2M PCB mount pots for the Sharkfin?  I haven't found any yet.  Or should I make one out of a B1M and a resistor?

1Meg pot + 1Meg resistor will work if you don't want high resonance settings since the minimum resistance would still be 1Meg. otherwise, 5Meg pot with a ~3Meg resistor in parallel will work. or you could do the 1Meg pot with a switchable series 1Meg resistor for a HI/LO res switch.

but i'm also curious where 2Meg pots can be obtained...

I *think* I got 2M pots from Smallbear for my pll -- solder lug, so I used wire clippings to mount 'em.

I've never seen a B2M. You could use a dual gang B1M and wire the gangs in series.

Edit: Just checked and Smallbear does have lugged B2M 16mm pots.

Good enough.  I'll make my own PCB mount.  Thanks
