Hey – I take it you got these from Synthrestore. Did they work well?
No these were sourced elsewhere, but I guess they’re the same thing that Synthrestore offers. The fastening lug is a bit smaller than on originals, so figuring out the best way to solder the parts in needed a moment of practice.
The travel is not as smooth as with some higher quality sliders and the plastic has a very cheapo feel to it. Nonetheless, they sure are far better than the cleaned originals I had :)
wow.. where did you find these? synthrestore already finished stock and I can’t wait restore my mk1
pleeease
Not sure if it was the factory, but it seemed like one at least. Gotta love having the corporation backup ;)
Drop me some mail, I might be able to help you to get started with the restore.
just sent the mai via the whowhatwhy contact form..

Not sure why, but my mail server is unable to deliver mail to yours. Just keep getting ‘user doesn’t have mail account’. Any other ones you could use?
Hey There,
I desperately need new slides for my Odyssey. Would you be willing to share where you got the slide pots from? It would be most appreciated!
I got them from a factory in China, but it seems to have gone out of business. You could try searching Alibaba or other similar site which lists wholesale/manufacturer companies from China. Use a search term something like “potentiometer slide 45″ and you’ll at least get a bunch of LED sliders that look similar to ones used in the Odyssey Lumina mod.
Returning to this question, Mouser seems to stock certain Alpha sliders that might work as replacements. Just search for RA4520F. They also have RA4545F (similar to Lumina), but sadly enough 1M is not stocked.
The RA4520F doesn’t look pin compatible though, so you’ll have to get creative figuring out a way to mount them on the Odyssey pcbs. Who knows, maybe some simple mech adapter (mounting bracket of sorts) could be used..
Thanks Much!
