Eli Duttman,

Good to see a familiar name here- I feel like a foreigner among the people that know how to use DMM's.

The photo is not of my SP10, but is captioned on arcdb as a MKII. I've always heard these gain pots referred to as "double ALPS". ARC does supply a replacement- about $80 I think, and this is known not to be identical to the original, confirming your comment that they are no longer made.

The idea of a "PEC KK series hot molded Carbon part" is intriguing. It's interesting how components have evolved so far- all those boutique pieces. I saw a series of photos of capacitors and showing the same value cap, in 30 years the size seems to be 1/2. And, even the wires have improved dramatically since 1985. Now, if they could only make a 6922 exactly like a 1959 Amperex,..

Cheers,

Bambi B
