Funny how this is timely for me. I have always had the desire to repair/bend some of my old analog hardware, and one of my recent projects was adding a "tune" feature to the bass drum of my Tr-808. The information on doing this is widely available on the internet, but I didn't realize how difficult it would be to source a 100k log pot. The Pot I did end up finding was Bourns branded. Now that Ive performed the modification, Im ready to dig deeper into it. Ive hired a TR-808 expert to provide me with some guidance through the process. I will not share the information I purchased from him(promised him I would not) but I can refer anyone looking to do the same to him and say this guy is the real deal, and is probably the premier Roland TR analog drum machine expert.

That was done with a google search of "100k log potentiometer"... Now - maybe you're in a different country or such where it's more difficult to get parts?
- S_A_P 8y agoI did that same search(~6 months ago) and there were none in stock or they were 30USD a piece. I ended up going through an electronics supplier and spending the 2-3 bucks it should have cost.
