Kenwood obsolete parts for TR-751A/E

[BudBurner]

Hi Folks,
Does anyone have a possible replacement part for the
volume/squelch or the RIT/RF Gain pots used on the Kenwood TR751A/E 2
meter allmode? The original Kenwood parts (R23-3403-05, R23-9402-05)
are discontinued but somebody had to make these parts for Kenwood. Any
ideas? I have a bad RIT/RF Gain pot and I want to replace the volume/
squelch pot at the same time since they seem to have an affinity for
going bad.
If I come up with a solution before someone here does,
I'll post the information here for others to use.
73 es cul,
Bud

Update: *nobody* has stock of these parts. I have seen a lot of
posts from other folks looking for these parts and there are none to
be had, discontinued by Kenwood. So, I am looking for a potentiometer
manufacturer willing to do a custom run of ~100 of each, which I will
buy and then sell to others that need them. So, the hunt for a
suitable vendor is on. I already have a list of manufacturers that
*won't* make it. :-(

Were you able to make a run of those potentiometers for the TR-751.

Hello Joseph,I had same problem with my TR751e after many years of use.
Could not find a source for replacement parts,so dismantled RF gain control
and found that the little metal slider part had detached itself from its
support! I refitted slider part to the plastic mount using a tiny amount of
superglue,after lightly scoring both parts with needle file.Refitted RF `pot`
to radio,and it worked ok, no noise etc.!
So,with my `new found ` confidence,I dismantled the VOL.control,which was also
faulty,and found it too,had exact same problem with the TINY metal slider
becoming detached from its` base. Refitted `pot` to radio,and has been working
ok since. This was three years ago too!

I Have to stress that some experience with working with TINY parts, helps!
Hope this info.might be of some use to you,Joseph.

Doug.

Seriously wanting to buy this rig but don't want any surprises. So can somebody please verify this:

VR4 (RIT/RF) show 10K for both in the schematic but the parts list shows a double package of 100K?

VR5 (SQL/AF/SW), parts list & schematic agree: 10K f/Vol.; 50K f/SQL.

I mean by actual measurement of course, since I only have documents to look at.

Thanks to all.

Just an update. I just ordered the Volume Pot today, it is $25 plus shipping and they gave me same day service.
