Judas-Prime Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Greetings All! Im repairing an Atari 2600 Jr. for a friend and the color trim pot literally disintegrated into a pile of dust and sadness when I attempted to tun the colors after a composite mod. Does anyone know the part name/part number so I can order on from Digikey or Mouser? I appreciate any help I can get. Thank You!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluxit Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 It's a 500k trim pot. Almost anything in this range can be made to work. You'll probably want to choose something of the vertical adjustment type similar to the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judas-Prime Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 Thank you! I figured this would be the case, but I always like to check with the forums first. Trim Pots ordered! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judas-Prime Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 If anyone else finds themselves needing a perfect fit for a replacement 500k trimmer pot for an Atari 2600 this part on Digikey is perfect and has a nice wide range for fine tuning the colors. https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/amphenol-piher-sensing-systems/PT15NV02-504A2020-E-S/1993-1174-ND/9556010 Thanks again to fluxit for the info.

fluxit Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 130xe? Probably. The 130xe schematic shows a 500k color adjustment pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
