I found some 3k H hold pots finally.
They are a bit smaller than the original one but I was able to spread the legs a bit and they fit.
I fired up the monitor and it now works perfectly.
The screen would scramble every time I touched the pot.
I tried to clean it and rotate it a bunch but to no avail.
They were only .06 each.
I ended up buying a bunch of other stuff like Leds,for about the same price ea,to justify the shipping.
It took about a week to get the stuff and shipping was very reasonable.
Here is a link to their site. http://www.taydaelectronics.com/servlet/the-2104/3K-6MM-OHM-POT/Detail
 
LAI B&W Vector monitors need them too

If you use a 5K the voltage divider balance is wrong and the screen is incorrect

Is it just me, or do others feel the need to "pad" the order and get a load of stuff you don't really need?

I found if you use a 7.5K ohm normal resistor across the 5K Pot will act exactly the same as a 3K pot

I would rather the correct item though
Thanks for the link.
 
They look like 0.1Watt

The ones in the chassis are 0.2W

Have you checked yours buddy? :)

I talked to a buddy of mine,who works on electronics for a living and he seems to think it is not a big deal and should be fine.

Cool

I am going to make up some pot boards (like the ones used in newer tubes, for width, bright, B+ etc) for all of my old Vector monitors chassis'

I have 5 to do, so I really like your link, never seen so many excellent items so cheap.

I ordered 100 pots for almost no cost, so . . cheers

excellent :)
