    Can somebody ID this part?

    No, unfortunately no schematic, that was the first question I posed when he showed me the picture. A schematic would tell us a lot, I'm sure. If I get my hands on the equipment, it will be a bit easier to determine what it is by putting my ohm meter on the resistor. Thanks for the response.

    Can somebody ID this part?

    A friend of mine has an old piece of non-audio vacuum tube equipment and has asked me to identify a component from a photo. It looks to be a sort of variable resistor but I am not certain. He also asked me if it looks burned. I know this isn't audio related but I was hoping somebody could help...

    Little Dot MKIII case discoloration

    I'll try and get some pics but I'll have to bring it home first - no cameras allowed at work. Besides that I don't know if it will be very evident in a picture. I did email Little Dot and I imagine that they may be interested in a picture, so I'll give it a shot. What is the finish on...

    Little Dot MKIII case discoloration

    Haven't posted here for a while, but I have a question for Little Dot MKIII owners. My LD MKIII has been happily sitting on my desk at work receiving fairly regular use. It is about a year-or-so old. Note that I work in an office cubicle and there is nothing in the air that can be considered...
