I saw the thread and thought it was funny. You wanna get teary eyed and read WAAAAY too much into a message board post that's your problem. And by the way, Take a few minutes after you write your 10 paragraph response to this, that way you can make it all one post. And if it upsets you so much. You ...

That is the game being changed.

Didn't you know?

We already worked all this out.

Spotify is thunderously blazing new trails and changing old rules. Just you wait...

Yes! Yes he did! This Beatthang ADVERTISMENT is obvious to me as I am on the MPC forum and these guys have been trying to hawk their SAD product for more than a year. Compared to ANY MPC it sucks. Look at the specs. Not to mention it looks like crap. They released a soft version. Why don't you look ...

^ +100000 I have had an MPC 2000XL since 1998 and don't know what I'd do w/o it. I have done all types of shit w/ it. Rap, metal, ambient, drone, noise, folk. Limitless. Put a sound in and work with it. CAVEAT The tech is older. You CAN get one with a CF reader or install one yourself(I did). But th...

Well. My reply is rather short. I still don't think it is a game changer, rather just another piece of tech. You assume a lot about me though which is flattering I guess. As far as ownership goes. I will not rant. Artists don't really own a piece after they finish it anyway, otherwise why do it? To ...

Jeez. First of all it is the internet. Stop taking it personally. We can't fistfight over it, so why get so defensive? I didn't say you had a short attn span personally did I? No. I was speaking on the ability of tech to excite in an environment that has exciting things popping up all the time. Ther...

No. It won't. Intellectual property rights will eventually force this economic system to change. Until our economic model is modernized there will continue to be attempts to patch up the 'problem.' Which is what this is. Notice. With almost every new piece of information tech released there are alwa...

Thanks for all the responses guys!

I have a handful of the same type of pots without detente, so I am just gonna use those.

Anyone know if surgery on a pot can be done to give it a detente? I have a busted one that I am gonna take apart and see what's what.

Thanks again!

No, not 4 pin. Just regular 3 pin PCB mount. It's an old Electro Voice BK-1232. I didn't realize the detente thing was a rarity. Guess I'll just throw some normal ones in there then.

Source for 1 turn 50k ohm center detente knurled shaft pots?

Can't seem to find them on Mouser or the usual suspects. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas/sources. I have a neat old mixer and I want to replace the pots in the eq section so I can start using this thing! I guess it isn't a big deal as I can move the 2 channels to the end and just use regular ...

Hey Alf, I believe I have the same 2-track tape machine as you (JVC, sound-on-sound 2-track?). The cover is missing off of my transport/headstack as well... GJ Nay, 'tis a Realistic that I got from a resale shop. I also have an Akai that I need to repair. I am gonna use the Realistic as a tape echo.
