Hi All

I am chasing a replacement Volume control for a Philips Radio Gram.

The pot is a dual ganged (Stereo) 2M log tapped pot. Does anyone have one?

Albeit that you have solved the problem, the old pots may be procurable from the US, which is where I got two 500k.

Some of those are tapped at 50K and others 40K measured from the end that will be grounded.

There is a place in US that can repair / replace tracks etc on the majority of pots.

Thanks Marc

I don't think it is worth sending it off to get it repaired. It is just an old chassis that I am playing with. I was hoping to build a small stereo amp out of it.

I have the original speakers that were in the gram but not the cabinet.

I am thinking of modifying the cct to the RF8 because it uses the same PCB and is only the matter of taking out the link adding a few resistors, 4 caps and a 500K pot for treble control. The tone control that is in it at the moment is the same as the one used for Bass.

I even have in my spares the speakers that would suit the RF8!

Just playing around since I don't have any good radios to fix at the moment.
