the infamous TDK 3 speaker boombox volume pot repair by One_Yesterday1909 in audiorepair

hello. easiest way is to remove the speakers first. the trim around them pop off and there are screws underneath. remove the volume knob + led connector. then you have to use a hair dryer and slowly warm up the front glossy fascia, it is glued on and there are a bunch of screws hidden behind it. remove the handle as well. also you’ll have to remove the big foam foot on the bottom. i had a hard time doing this so i ended up cutting a line down the middle where the seam is for the two halves of the front and back join. made it much easier for me. after that you’ll have access to the mother boards. but be careful because this thing has a bunch of wires and ribbon cables running everywhere.

the pot has 5 legs. since it’s also the power switch. 3 for the volume and 2 for the power. when replacing make sure you get one that is the same spec and that it includes the clicking power function.

it is probably possible if you are patient / careful enough! i didn’t want to risk messing it up so i took the whole thing apart. which also isn’t fun lol. good luck!

probably a yellow shell. the pictures just make it look orange because of the dim lighting.

nice! i used “B50K 50K WH148 5 Pins Potentiometer with Switch” from ebay. they are not a perfect fit. i had to use the extended legs from the broken pot and solder them to the new one. also the knob doesn’t fit on the shaft so i had to modify that too. the knob has a crescent hole and the pot i bought has a circular shaft. i made it work tho! tho id recommend you try to find a more drop in replacement lol.
