I had this little baby sitting on the "whenever I get to it" pile and I decided to revisit it.

It is a Barcus Berry 1330-S preamp. I opened it up only to find that the repair looks easy BUT... the part needed looks to be unobtainium  :-\

What is missing is the 3.5M trimmer (yes... that is 3.5M) Looks like some dingus snapped it in half while trying to put the enclosure back together..  :'(

My search has turned up empty thus far and was looking for help! So... you internetz gurus out there... can you help a brother out?

Some pics from effectsdatabase. Its the Blue trimmer in the pic. The code on mine says 1347443J 3.5M

Are you looking to restore it or just make it work?
If I can solve the problem for someone else, I've learned valuable skill and information that pays me back for helping someone else.

Piher makes a 5 meg trimmer. You could use resistors to change the value thereafter.

SWEET! Thanks Dave!

Ideally I would like to restore it however, seeing as the other pot in my unit is a Piher I guess it is the closest I will get.

Gotta keep an eye out in March!

Honestly, I don't know why I want to restore/fix it. It is not really something I need or want particularly. I just hate to see it sitting there and not working  :-\

I hope i read that date correctly as i believe the numerical-representation-convention differs between our two countries and i can never remember which comforms to my logic.

Happy to help!
