3 pin volume knob : NEEDED

Post by HammerWihoutASickle »

Hello everyone!
I'm in the process of upgrading my HL Leo 2A6 board to a Clark TK60 - and it seems it needs a volume knob in addition to its existing speaker 2 pin connection for the sound to work. Ayy.
Its something like this apparently:
https://www.ebay.com/p/2pcs-Portable-10 ... 100623.m-1

My, what a link.
Anyway, anyone in the US area able to help me out? I don't want to wait a few weeks for this to come in all the way from China.

Please let me know!
Thank you!

Should be able to find one in the states, or maybe a Radio Shack, if you still have one around. I can check at our local store and see if they've got one.

Will these work?

I have three pin plugs that will fit the HL/Taigen MFU's, with wires already attached. If you need a couple, or want me to check RS, just let me know.

PM your address and I'll send you one of my many, many spares. No charge. From The D it should get to you by Saturday, Monday at the latest.

Max, this is greatly appreciated.
I will PM you my address.

Thank you ever so much.

Edit: I just realized; but are they wired? If they aren't - I might have to go looking for compatible wires nearby.

Thanks for the reply!
What do you mean by "flip" exactly?

I think they will - I'll ask Google to find me a Radio Shack somewhere in Naperville or Bolingbrook that might have wires that are compatible; please don't go out looking yourself - you'll make me feel bad.

You have to rearrange the wires to work with the board. So the middlee wire gets swapped with the end wire and the end wire goes to the middle pin. Very simple

The last time someone said something was simple, like rewiring electronics for example; I wasn't able to sleep because the instructions were unclear enough for me to lose sleep over.
I'm guessing I'll have to desolder the two wires and solder them on again?

Correct. The first pin stays the same and the middle and last one flip no need to solder, just remove with a sharp knife from Jst connector and plug back in
