I just checked my saved messages, I thought I had a url for the correct digi key pots, but I couldn't find it. They are 100 ohm resistance, that I remember, Try tracking down Don Burnette, I think he was the guy who gave me the url. sorry. Digi Keys are supposed to be the best pots right now...good luck dave henrie

The reason no one is aswering is that it's almost impossible to recommend a pot without holding it in your hand and comparing it to the one you removed from your T2. I don't know if all T2s used the same type of pot, but the one I removed had a splined shaft, a feature I couldn't find on any of the suitable replacements I looked at. I ended up using a pot with a plastic shaft and whittling the shaft down until it was a press fit into the hole, which has worked well. The other problem is actually mounting the pot to the T2. The original pot is a snap fit, and again I couldn't find a pot with the same dimensions that would snap in. I ended up using a pot with a square housing that had two small mounting holes. I drilled two small holes into the T2 and mounted the pot with two small self-tapping screws. I used a Bourns conductive plastic pot, they have very low noise and seem to wear better than carbon film. If you would like to try the same pot, the part number is 91A1AB24B20, the specs are here: http://www.bourns.com/pdf/90sers.pdf. It's a 100k linear pot and has worked flawlessly since I installed it. You can purchase them in Canada from Electrosonic ( http://www.e-sonic.com/ ). I have no idea what Electrosonic's minimum on-line order is, but they do sell on-line. I hope this is of some help to you. Zog

I'm sure you meant 100 kilo-ohm resistance. Zog
