evil98 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Found a Rane TTM-56 for $280 but with multiple broken pots. I have no problem replacing the pots. Everything else is in good condition. My issue is finding the original ALPS components. I've been on ebay all day and none of my goto electronic sites carry any ALPS with in the specs. I've found some comparable components from other manufactures but even those have some ridiculous lead time. I've contacted rane via email but no response yet. I found this site instrumentalparts.com but everything is extremely over priced and non-oem. Anyone got any sources? Thanks! These are the specs that I can gather from my observations and measurements. If anything is wrong please let me know. I'm guessing on the tapers. volume pot20k ohmdual gangtop adjustpcb mountD shaft6mm ⌀ shaft15mm length shaft (including threads)7mm length flat arealogarithmic taper (?)slide pot20k ohmdual gangpcb mount20mm travel20mm lever length1.2mm lever thicknessno detent9mm width35mm lenght7mm heightlinear taper (?)

Jam Burglar Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Have you looked at the pots to see if you can salvage them? I think Rane parts are going to be really hard to find going forward. Have you tried mouser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried mouser? I'm going to test the rotary pot to see if it still works. I did manage to "reassemble" it but I'm not sure if its put together right. The slide potentiometer is toast. Yea mouser is the first place I looked. I also checked digikey and they don't have much in stock either. This is the closest thing I can find for the rotary pot P0925N-FC15BR20K Datasheet As for the slide potentiometer, I haven't found anything that is suitable. At this point I might just make the dry-wet a rotary as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kutabare Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Any chance this would work? It looks to be the same as the headphone cue Slider on the 56. Are all four of the 56 sliders the same? http://www.showcomms.com/rane/ttm-57sl-performance-mixer/rane-empath-ttm57sl-slider-pot-20kb-12061.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm being stingy but its the principal lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rasteri Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I have a junk DJM800 that I managed to find a compatible pot in. It was a different value but that doesn't (generally) matter for gain/volume controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil98 Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) I have a junk DJM800 that I managed to find a compatible pot in. It was a different value but that doesn't (generally) matter for gain/volume controls. Thanks for the offer! But more interestingly, you think that I could use a different value pot for both? Because if that's the case I think I could definitely find replacements. edit: I found a ALPS rotary in the same dimensions but in 10k. edit: nvm cant find any slide potentiometer in those dimensions that are dual gang Edited February 1, 2017 by evil98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djlotus Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I've got a bid on a busted 56 on Ebay right now. If I can see if anything is good enough to reuse. Ill probably get auction sniped at the last second though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djlotus Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Got outbid. Not willing to drop more than $75 on a busted mixer in that terrible condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djlotus Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 I grabbed a 61 off ebay. If you have issues finding the pots you need let me know. I'll probably be parting out my 56. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djlotus Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Ill be ready to part it out as soon as the new mixer gets here and I can verify it works as it should. Hopefully middle of next week. I would prefer to just send the entire board to you and let you use that or pull parts off you need. I'll let you know as soon as I'm ready to go.
