Yamaha SG Flying Samurai - which Blend pot?

Post by Axolotl » Sun Jul 03, 2022 5:16 pm

Hi peeps,

I'm fixing a recently acquired 1967 Yamaha SG Flying samurai, and the blend pot for the two bridge pickups is toast.
Does anybody know if they were originally 500k or 1meg?
Would this be a good fit? .

I will appreciate any info you can give me. Thanks!

It's not exactly the same guitar, but this should help: https://josephlacroixart.files.wordpres ... wiring.jpg

As it happens, I have a blend pot from an SG-7 on my desk right now.

The top section, (closest to the shaft) is A250K. The bottom section is C250K

Also, I've had this part listed on here for free for a few months now. It's yours if you want to pay shipping.

Thanks for the replies guys! It helps a lot.

PearDream, I remember seeing the pot listed for sale, but IIRC you didn't know if it's in working condition, is that the case?

PearDream, I remember seeing the pot listed along some other parts you were selling, but IIRC you didn't know if it's in working condition, is that the case?
