Understanding Bandit 112 S Silver Stripe Pot Measurements

Post by bandit-problems » Sat Dec 14, 2024 9:22 am

Hey y'all,

I recently picked up a Bandit 112 silver stripe that I'm trying to fix. Many of the pots are broken or bent. I've done a pretty thorough job of diagnosing all of the issues with the pots - see the attached image. Where I'm struggling is that the measured values for VR2, VR5, and VR6 are all very different despite having the same part number, 71190522 9816A, and the same value in the schematic (1M A VBP5).

Note: All pots VR1 - VR8 have bent or broken shafts. So damage is afoot.

VR2 (LOW CLEAN) seems to be a regular direction audio taper?
VR5 (PRE GAIN) seems to be a reverse direction audio taper?
VR6 (LOW GAIN) seems to be a regular direction audio taper with internal damage?

What am I missing? Thanks!

(Sorry to the admin who has to keep approving my edited post to get the picture of all the stats. My bad!)

I'm looking to replace all the pots on my Bandit 112 Silver Stripe. Can you tell me where you located your replacement parts? I'm having no luck. Thanks! Chris

Roger stickied a post, with a bunch of links, titled "Need Parts?", at the top of the Guitar Amplifiers section, start there :D
