Volume pot issue
mh12:
I'd really like to take care of the volume issue on my cab (have to open the front door to adjust it, unless i'm using shifted keys to adjust it in MAME... and I'd rather leave the software volume alone)
here is the cab's volume pot:
I assume I could de-solder the 6 points and extend the pot with some wires to stick out somewhere (correct?), but the thing is that the pot is very sensitive. If I could find a pot with a greater range of motion, would it work with this? It looks generic enough. Or anyone have a better idea?
DaOld Man:
You could leave that pot alone, turn it to what you want max volume to be, then add a new pot between the PC and the amp. The new pot would basically go in the wire that runs from your amp to your PC.
I did this on the two jukeboxes I built, works pretty good.

Strip my RCA > 3.5mm cable, eh... that would be great if I could pull it off. How's it done? Is there a guide around? Thanks for replying

If you know the range (ie 10K ohm, 20K ohm), you could simply remove it, run longer wires, re-solder it and voila! That would be my suggestion.
