I have an older HBE Medicine Bawl wah with a bad pot. I've tried to clean it and it's still flaky.
The pot is marked-
WH118 I
A-2WA
100K
Can you recommend a suitable replacement.

Thanks Chuck. I'm looking for something that has the same taper as the one that's in it (if anyone knows and if it even matters that much) so I don't change the feel of the wah.
Gotcha. I have limited experience with Wah's. I don't know the codes to tell you what the specs on that pot are. Maybe contacting HBE would shed light on them?
Don, could the 2WA mean a 2 watt audio taper? I found this with a search:

I really think that any 100k wah pot will do. I might splurge and get an Area 51 pot.
I think you're right about the "any 100k" pot thing. I think close enough is close enough. Read the DC ohms on what you have just to make sure. But HBE sourced the pot from somewhere. ThE code on the pot should tell you who made it.
I put one of these in my old Vox 874 and totally loved it.

Guess what I installed in the wah about a week ago??? Yep. This pot. It's a good pot and a great price!Quote:
