Sansui model 1000 Volume Pot control loudness
We also offer a Full restoration kit for this model -----> LINKAs an experienced vintage audio equipment service provider, I understand the challenges of finding reliable volume controls for these units. Locating a New Old Stock (NOS) potentiometer may seem like a solution, but it's important to note that even if one succeeds in finding it, it may not be a wise choice to use it. Over time, the carbon path within the potentiometer deteriorates, meaning that even a NOS potentiometer could be in very poor condition after just a few uses. Recognizing this issue, I took it upon myself to tackle the problem. After years of searching, I decided to manufacture volume controls that were commonly used during the golden era of audio equipment. My objective was to create a high-quality replacement part that surpasses the original volume pot, and I'm proud to say that I have achieved that goal. Here are a few reasons why it's advisable to consider purchasing our modern production potentiometer instead of attempting to repair the original: - Unmatched Potentiometer: Vintage volume controls, after 20-25 years, often suffer from carbon resistance path deterioration. These paths need to be carefully matched and balanced to ensure even sound distribution. If a volume pot is unbalanced, one speaker will sound louder than the other. Our modern production potentiometer has been meticulously designed to address this issue, guaranteeing well-balanced sound reproduction. On/off switch Flaws: Many of the original switches used in vintage units were notorious for their unreliability. Over time, more than 75% of these switches have failed, and the remaining 25% are at risk of failure. This poses potential hazards, such as receivers turning themselves on when the power switch is in the off position, which could lead to fire hazards if left unattended. - Flawed Design: Even if you manage to repair an old control, the outcome will likely be short-lived due to significant flaws in the original design itself. Our modern production potentiometer, on the other hand, has been engineered to overcome these shortcomings, ensuring both durability and consistent performance. On/Off switch specs: On/Off Switch: It can sustain up to 6A current, ensuring safe and reliable operation.Voltage: The switch supports a wide range of voltage, from 110V to 240V, making it universally compatible. As an individual with extensive experience in restoring vintage audio equipment, I can confidently assert that our modern production potentiometers are of the highest quality. They deliver exceptional results and provide well-balanced sound reproduction.
