    Accuphase E-212 ALPS potentiometer volume balance issue

    Hi all, it has been quite a while since I have posted on Audiokarma - hoping I would be able to tap into your collective Accuphase expertise.

    Hack job on a pot - Luxman L1

    I got a Luxman L1 for free that looks like it’s been in a barn for the last 40 years. Several issues, but the most outrageous one is that somebody replaced the volume pot at some point and did a terrible job (see photos). The volume knob wiggles, can’t really adjust the volume precisely...
