Where can i get this pot?

Sign in to disble this ad
I've got a warwick corvette proline from 1996. Lately the push n pull volume pot is making a lot of noise now and again. when i touch it, it stops. ive tryd spraying it with switch cleaner but hasnt worked. So i decided to replace it. I was on the warwick website shop.
But i'm not sure which pot i need. Does anyone know which one i need? Heres a pic of it, with the numbers MEC 84500 on it.



Thanks for any help.

Hi.

Hilarious, didn't notice that at first either, had to scroll back up to see what was so damn funny about the thread title.

Have You tried Google

Don't mind the ads and the language, it's finnish.

Or you could call Warwick and maybe if they are nice, or you tell them that it got damaged while pulling children out of a burning building, they might even send you a replacement one.

The proline has 2 active MEC pickups if memory serves. So i guess it would be the 16mm active tone pot. You should be able to tell by looking at the pot if its the active one. If you have any doubt just send warwick an email.
