Post by dehughes »

The title says it all....

What type of pot is this (make/model), and where can I get one? The shaft length and overall size is PERFECT for my build....

THANKS!

I could be wrong but it looks like an old Centralab to me.

I forgot to mention...these pots are used in Top Hat amps, so I wager they are still being manufactured. This one is a 500k, and the letters on the back read C G E, I believe....and below that is printed "Mexico" (without the quotes, of course...). It does look like an old Centralab, but it is most definitely not one. :)

Those ARE CGE pots. Mojo Music Supply and Torres Engineering sells them. They are supposed to be pretty good pots
