I don't think 100K is the original value pot. for a PAT 3. Still though, shutting off at full volume looks like a defect and not caused by the wrong value pot. You really should stick with the orig. value to retain the Dynaco's sonic signature. Go to DIY audio's site, or Audiokarma. The people there can probably tell you more than you ever cared to know about this.
volume pot install
i have a dynaco pat3 and i had to change the volume pot.
i installed a 100k alps and everything seams fine but when i turn the volume close to full the volume goes to zero. the previous pot did not cause this to happen.
yes i know why would i ever want to turn the volume up full?
i don't but, this must be a sign that i have done something wrong or the pot is faulty. or should i be using a dif. value?
it is feeding a bryston amp. any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks rick
