SS360FM SWR cal pot

Post by NightProwler »

So im re-building my old 360FM and I need a SWR cal pot which are smaller than the normal 16mm ones. Does anyone know what size I need? I know it's 5K but whats the physical size so I can try and find one, Or does anyone have a link to where I might get one?

Cheers dudes...Rich

I think the SWR cal pot is 5K but the physical size of it is something I can not find..That is until a very kind TM1 member came to my rescue with everything I need to rebuild my 360FM :thumbup:

Yeah , the SWR CALs are smaller . A normal sized one won't fit in that space . You could probably find one of those little blue variables on Ali Express or similar , but the shaft length is usually smaller than the standard 20mm .

I got one in there now but it's the normal size one, It just about fits in but Im rebuilding it and want to try and keep it as it should be. I got everything I need now, Even ordered one of those decals off ebay for it. This old 360FM holds a lot of fun memories for me so I have to put it back together.
