Looking for owners of a Marantz 1060 amplifier

I am restoring a Marantz 1060 amplifier, and my problem is that the volume potentiometer is missing. I have the schematic, and bought the potmeter, but don't know the cabling of it.

It would be great if someone has a 1060 and could share a picture of the wiring of the VOLUME potmeter, or if someone came across such a picture

i have the manual and schematics,

Here is someone replacing that part on a 2230. He takes a photo of the existing bad potometer wiring when hooking up the new one.

That won't help you see the wiring?

it's not an original Masq - but i managed to get the knurled part out of the old one and fix it on a new one

the pics surely will help

Nick - on a different system the wiring maybe different no?

¨Perfect pictures ! !

i wonder if you use any special search options or methods ?

nickg5

I use Google and other sites and try to use my imagination to come up with unique and different search terms out of the logical search terms.
-----
My method has failed me so far. I need T type audio mixer slider caps knobs white and red and low cost like 50 cents each. I may post here and let YOU find me some. (ha)

i found it always useful to ask the experts how they do it - i've learned many things from them

For this one I'd recommend here:

That's where my photos came from, they are pretty good on anything audio with old-school capacitors!

Search term your looking for is - audio mixer fader slider red white

Depends on when you say "T" shaped is the "T" in line with the slide (most modern decks, usually with a concavity for finger) or at right-angles to the slide (old decks)

Most of these for named equipment are now 3D printed to order in China

Masq may i ask what topic you use? there's an awful lot of topics, and i see no amplifier section

☠ MASQ ☠

Topics aren't an especially useful way to search the site, use the Search tool instead

eg "Marantz 1600", top of the list ...:
