Need a couple old Potentiometers

[Douglie]

Need some pots for some 1950’s C8/C8S Mac preamps. I realize exact replacements aren’t going to happen but I think I can make similar ones work. Need a:

dual audio taper 50k or 100k short shaft with a switch and a
dual audio taper 2” long1/4 or 3/16 dia shaft dual 150k or close, 50 100 etc.

or something similar.

Got any ideas where I might look?

thanks!

Radiodaze is getting out of the parts business, but they have a 50K dual with long shaft: https://www.radiodaze.com/dual-section/ (no more 100K, I think I got one or two from them) Or you can use a shaft extension or coupler if there's space.

Dual pots with a switch... now that's a problem. Antique Electronics Supply has a few with push-pull switches. Digi-Key and Mouser have nothing in stock.
It's POSSIBLE that Radiodaze could work out - they have single pots with a switch, and the switch MIGHT fit on the dual pot.

Try Mark Oppat @ oldradioparts.net If you have a part # on the old ones, he may be able to match something up, or even rebuild yours.

thanks, Tom. Radio Daze and AES both had inexpensive ones which looked close to what I need so I bought them. BTW I purchased a glass faceplate a while back with the tuner scale for my Marantz 18 and it was perfect and cheap for an exact replica.
