Help with Egret II Volume pot, knob or whatever its name is

Post by FrenchTaunter »

Hello boys & girls ! :mrgreen:

So that little thing that controls the audio volume of my sweet Egret II is broken... :'(

Here you can see the pannel (sorry, I don't know why the pic is like that). That thing beneath the 2 red buttons is my volume pot...

Here it is

Without finger ^^

Here is, i think, an original panel :

I just can't find the ref of this piece ! :'( If anyone knows the name, or the reference, of this piece you would save my playtime ! ^^

Someone told me it was something like that : ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/25W-100-Ohm-Rou ... 1542708278 ), but we're not sure it's the correct one...


Sorry guys, I know this is my 1st post, and, to be honest, I'm not sure I will post a lot here, but I'm a bit desesperate now... And when we're desesperate we do stuff like this ! ^^ Hope you won't get mad too much guys ! ^^
If this is wrong from me (this message) I deeply apologize ! :oops:
If this is cool then, it's cool and thank you ! :D

PS : Someone told me to try my luck here, cause you guys are known to be... especially specialists in tech stuff... So... Here I am ! ^^

Try asking on Arcade Otaku.

Egret IIs are pretty popular there.

I've got an Egret II candy cab with a broken off volume control knob -- it's missing as well. I just twist it with my finger until the desire volume level is desired. Easy as pie.

Tried this. Didn't work. When I let go, it doesn't hold still.
Even worse : Seeking to find a position where I have sound, it can "buzz". By exemple, with CPS2 game it "buzzes" and the fan slows down... Sounds like me creating short circuits no ? ^^ (I let go immediatly of course). So I just took it off and now here I am looking for this piece of sss... something ! And boring everybody with this !
I Just need to know the reference or the name of this and I'll buy it ! For Lord Guy de Lombard's sake !
^^
