Hi - I am looking to replace faders on a mixing desk from the early 1980s. They are tired and worn. I'm new at looking at schematics and would really appreciate your help and expertise on replacements.
The current faders are 88mm long with 60mm fader movement and are 10K B (which I think is a linear fader). They have been swapped out at some point (tell tale signs of additional screw holes a few mms below the top screw hole).
I think the schematic suggests 5K B faders (but as a newbie I'm not sure if I am even looking at the correct part of the schematic!?). I have included a block channel diagram and the schematic for the channel (highlighting where I think the fader is located).
My questions are - am I on the right track? And if so, is it best to put in 5K B faders as per the schematic? Or are there advantages or draw backs with going with 10K B. Or is logarithmic (Audio) taper instead of the linear (B) fader? Any recommendations for faders? Thanks so much for help.
