Painton fader help please

[pba81]

Hi everybody,
This is my first post here. So a while ago I bought some boxes "various audio" from a retired broadcaster. I found this fader module with wich turns out to be a Painton part number G.S. 102287. Does anybody know in wich console / apparatus this fader was used?

Do my eyes deceive more or has it got 'Berlin' written on the side?

Hi Ian,
The one on top is indeed a Danner module used in Philils  consoles I think,  got 20 5kOhm, and 4 2kOhm of this type. The one on the left is the Painton one. Online I can't find any pictures similar to this one. This is how the inside looks:
Kind regards, Pim

That's very much like a Painton inside. I have some Painton quadrant faders and they look much the same internally.

Hi Ian.

Thank you for confirming. Do you have an idea in which console it was used? The 4 glowers are 24v.. This week I'll try to figure out what psu it needs and give the old lady a rewire, when I moved some wires to figure out the pin occupation, some wires crumbled of the pins :-s Any form of documentation would help. Is there a source of info for this type?

Unfortunately Painton info seems to be extremely hard to come by. I have some rotary Painton faders that I have only been able to find anecdotal info about. Yours is the first straight Painton fader I have ever seen so it could be rather rare.

Cheers

Ian
