repairing broken sliders

[dancullinane]

A IIB I just picked up has a broken off EQ slider. can these be replaced or does the whole EQ have to be done. from what I understand getting to the EQ from ith inside involves removing the board with the filter caps. Is this a Job for MB? or is there a simple fix.

Thanks
Dan

The power board needs to be unscrewed and moved, then the face plate needs to be removed by unmounting all the pots, switches and unsoldering or clipping the pilot light. With the face plate off, you will have to unclamp each fader from the top and bottom of the chassis slots. Then you can have access to the front and back of the fader board. Un solder the old fader and solder in the new one. Mesa has the part in stock, it should be #588535. Double check with them and have fun.

Is it possible to get new knobs for the sliders? preferably old school ones(IVA)?

That's a bit vague a description, geeze. The least you could do is tell us *which* fader he needs to replace!

The knob is # 408550 for the MK II and later models. The originals are DC'ed.
