Hello gang,
Some how the main pot on my Airbrake has decided to seize up and the pot split open! Anyone have a line of the pots so I can replace it?

never heard of this before. Can you read the values on the pot? I check and see what I have

That's very odd, the pot is a high wattage, wire-wound ceramic Ohmite, first rate pot. They're quite expensive and I've never seen one break. I'd call the shop, talk to Don, (216) 475-1962 or email repairs@drzamps.com and see if they'll sell you a replacement. I just opened mine up and looked up a similar part at Mouser, here: www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Ohmite/RJS150?qs=URiVAz3P7%2FwcpQmzYUBPrw%3D%3DIf you do decide to get the part from somewhere besides Z Amps, PLEASE MAKE SURE IT'S THE SAME PART SPECIFICATION. The parts may have changed since mine was made and I don't want to have you get the wrong, expensive part. It's best to go to Z for the part. How did it break? Was it dropped?

I Will call the shop for sure. How did it break? One day when getting ready to play I went to adjust the attenuation and it was a bit strange feeling. Opened up the back and there was the broken pot. Not dropped or anything.
