Mode Pot for BOSS RC2 looper source?

[rock soderstrom]

Hi folks, I am searching a replacement Mode pot for my RC2 looper.

It is a 50KB, 9mm, 7 position rotary pot, D-shaft, PCB mounted

I found one in Australia for 12$, but shipping to germany is super expensive. I have contacted Boss, no answer so far.

Do you know a source for that?

I think I will try to glue it with super glue (until I got the replacement pot). I don't think it will hold permanently, but I'm curious to see what the glue can do.

Edit from the future: stupid idea

I like to be critical of the service behaviour of audio gear companies, but you shouldn't just grumble, you should also mention positive examples.

I actually contacted Boss via Just music Berlin and asked for a suitable spare part and it actually worked. The part costs €10 and it took a while, but I'll be picking it up from the Berlin branch on Monday. Special thanks to the service staff at Just Music! It's absolutely worth mentioning these days when you still get service for a product that's over 10 years old. Bravo!

After a long wait, the time has come!
