Hi,
I've been taking apart a hifi of mine for a project (first time doing this) and in the process damaged a the volume pot. I'm struggling to source a new one and would appreciate any help you guys can offer.
The pot has 6 pins (all in one line, no 2x3) which attach it to a circuit board and is marked as 100Kohm on top. I am struggling to find anything in the UK that is like this but have found a 50k ohm option. Would it be suitable to replace with a 50k pot? The pot is also marked as 111MMAL, does this mean anything?
As a rule, why might it be that I can find lots of pots with a 3x2 pin configuration but not 6x1?
Thanks in advance for any help!
