Does anyone have any specs on the fader pot. that controls music from the dash radio front to back in early 90s rig?  Mine has dead spots in it and I would like to replace.  Thanks in advance.

Should be an audio pot you could get at Radio Shack etc.  Often, they are marked on the backside with 'ohm' spec.

get an electronic cleaner spray, a small brush and try this.


Most times it's only some oxidation.

Thanks for the replies.  I removed the unit and it was enclosed and marked only "Japan".  Opened the unit on both sides and sprayed it down with contact cleaner, brushed it and reassembled.  Works fine.

Good thing as I don't know how I would have described it or matched it up.  It is a double differential
pot between to outputs each.
