Finding the size pot isn't too hard, its finding the ones that actually fit and are the right size which seems to be the problem. Hell on ebay I can get the Surround and volume pot all day, but the sub one is just, non existent. :/
I did a little cleaner and that seemed to bring the sub one...
Been a while but the little 2W resister still continues to hold on since the Fix I posted a while back lol.
I however have come to what feels like the end of the original Pod pots on my OG 2000 4.1's. The Volume and surround knobs can be made to work for the most part as once they are set...
The stocker was still good by the readings I get off it. The only reason it appeared to fail was the solder point cooking off lol. So I will pick up another 3W one to replace this 2W and see if I can solder the lead bent directly to the diode. Don't know how I didn't think of that but I'm happy...
Got an R12 from Digikey and Success!
However I think I ordered one too small. The one I got was a 2W and it looks like the one that was in the system was a 3W. It works but I assume its a ticking time bomb before it burns out and should swap it for a 3W or higher.
On another note, the...
Replaced the Rectifier to no avail. Dammit. I need to replace that R12 but I can't seem to find an exact match. About to take this thing to a local shop...
Ordered a new Rectifier just to be safe, may I ask what are the problematic Resisters besides the R26 and R12? Already replaced R26 and R12 keeps reading proper readings even though it looks toasty. All the other resistors I can reach so far all seem to check out and look like new. Heck except...
There is only 1 setting for Diode on my MM. I would assume it is .### from readings I see others get testing on the Tubes.
Ok removed from the board, I get normal readings from + to AC and - to AC as it should be and around the 620 mark, however is the test between + and - Worth anything? It...
OK here are the results from my test tonight....
As it sits in my picture. Starting from the bottom with the black probe and testing the other three with the red. This is done from the ends on the board.
With no contact my MM reads 1.
1 - 532
2 - 621
3 - 616
1 - 609
2 - 1
4 - 1...
Here is a link to some pics of my subs insides.

Is there a chance you can point out what I should be testing as the only thing near the copper coil that looks like a rectifier from what ive found is that little rectangle next to it that only has 2 leads.
No so far the components have been left on and I am just using the probes as best I can so far.
I will probably replace R12 next and try again, but how would I test the bridge rectifier next if need be? (I suppose I can also youtube it so yea..)
Just need to find the time to work on this.
Well time to dig up this old post.
My 4.1 v.2-400's have finally tossed in the towel. Worked fantastic since 2000 and now when they are plugged into power, you can hear a electronic buzzing that isn't static, but appears to come from the area with the copper wire tower. (Still rusty with my...
