Hello,

I have a Crown D-75 amp that is missing a cap on the on-off switch.
Does anyone know where I can purchase one, or maybe something cheap I
can squeeze on there?

Also, one of the volume pots are scratchy. I haven't tried cleaning
it out yet, but in the event that I need a new pot, what kind of pot
can I purchase and where's a good place to order from?

Thanks,

Jimmy

I'd suggest contacting Crown. Those things are often quite specific to
the manufacturer in question.

Mpffff... The cap is nothing special at all. About any 600+VDC 0.02uf
or 0.01uf ceramic disc cap will do just fine.

The volume-controls _will_ be specific to that amp, but if you know
the specifications, you should be able to find after-market
replacements or upgrades. But I would strongly suggest you clean them
before you replace them. Be sure to use a *lubricating* cleaner
designed for volume controls - or, if you know how to be very, very
sparing in your application (flame-suit full-on) WD-40 - after a non-
lubricating cleaner such as mineral spirits or the like. Even Radio
Shack tuner/cleaner is excellent in this application.

NOTE: ALL OF THE ABOVE ARE FLAMMABLE. Allow all volatiles to escape
before applying power.
