Each set of 9 pots includes 9 black nuts and 9 black washers (I previously noted here I was finally all out of the black washers that go with these, but disregard that, I just found one tiny bag and another bag with a few hundred, so I just mailed out 9 washers to the most recent/first customer who didn't get the washers, and everyone can get new washers with their pots now, I have more washers/nuts than pots to use them).

I've made this exact set (sometimes plus some drum pad switches, slider caps, etc.) for so many people at this same discounted price ( less than the usual price, plus a very large combined shipping discount) that I decided to list it here as a LinnDrum rotary potentiometer replacement kit for anyone. I've had to tell quite a few people, if you think one or two of your pots are worn out or dirt contaminated, the rest of them aren't far behind.
Also note that my remaining supply of the tuning/decay pots is very low right now (but selling very slowly, because the I D I O T S at eBay are word slamming "Linn" into the Home Audio category, essentially adding a filter you didn't ask for, eliminating anything Linn from musical instruments, pro audio, or even books, memorabilia, or anything else for that matter, as Linn is a common surname, so none of my Linn items will appear in a Linn search unless you know to go into filters and reset all filters---when you hadn't ever set any filters), I have some more small bags somewhere, but I don't know where and I don't really want to have to start the messy work of desoldering some from unused boards, it's easier to sell the ones that haven't ever been soldered in, at least first.
This is a full set of 9 rotary potentiometers for the Linn LinnDrum:
(1) rotary potentiometer for the stereo master volume control
(1) rotary potentiometer for the tempo/BPM control
(7) rotary potentiometers for the snare, hi tom, mid tom, lo tom, hi conga, and lo conga tuning, and the hi hat decay controls
Also included are 9 black washers and 9 black nuts to replace the old ones which are usually pretty grody by now.
These have all been sealed in airtight packaging since new and have absolutely no dust, lint, or grit of any type inside. They will allow perfectly smooth adjustments with dreamy precision. They have a thick, solid, heavy feel to them. Very smooth action. I just put 9 of these single and dual pots in one of my own LinnDrums this week, the improvement over the old worn parts is amazing.
These are not generic parts, the LinnDrum uses special potentiometer shafts, so these won't fit any knobs other than the knobs on a LinnDrum.
Tip: The teeth inside the knobs on a LinnDrum are the weakest I've ever seen, so tiny that they are almost invisible. If you try to fit that knob on the wrong potentiometer (which is 100% of the potentiometers available today), you just ruined your knob.
This type of potentiometer is unheard-of rare these days for four or five reasons (length of the shaft, material, number of teeth on the splined shaft, resistance value/taper, color, etc.). TRY2FIND1.
Please check the other Synhouse eBay listings to see if I still have any stock of the special LinnDrum teeth LinnDrum knobs.

This is the rotary potentiometer for the tempo/BPM control on a Linn LinnDrum.
The LinnDrum uses one (1) of these.
This LinnDrum tempo pot may be the hardest to find potentiometer in electronic music. Try to use any other pot you can possibly find and you will see why.
Putting this in will allow stable drum beat tempo with precise, jitter-free adjustments for the first time in decades.

Another use for this exact part (value and taper) is as a tuning adjustment for the individual sidestick tuning modification, which works an R/C oscillator much like the tempo clock in the LinnDrum. This modification is somewhat rare, but profoundly useful and Behrooz did it on a lot of LinnDrums in years long past. I still have more Linn machines than anyone who ever stepped on the Earth and some of my LinnDrums have it. This is the correct pot to control it. The main reason we used that modification back in the mid-80s is because most people, especially using the Linn alternate sounds library of EPROMs, prefer to have a high tuned clicky sounding side stick and a much lower tuned snare drum for a deep snare sound, and the standard LinnDrum can't do it due to the global multiplexing where multiple drum sounds are actually running off the same digital sampling clock, whereas in the Linn LM-1, each drum has separate tuning (which unfortunately has all the controls on the back like a DMX.........unless you're a fat pimp like me and have the Linn factory remote control drum tuning unit Linn made for The Eagles). If you have loaded stock LM-1 drum sounds (requires an EPROM type conversion) to try and play When Doves Cry like Prince, it won't work without the modification because the sidestick has to be tuned a lot lower than the snare drum to get that sound.

There is a minimum shipping price for all of my small components and a different minimum for a very low value item or for something or more. However, I can ship almost any number of parts for the international shipping that it shows for most of those items. So if you want, for example, an SP1200 overlay and some knobs and some switches, or knobs and switches and potentiometers or whatever, just let me know IN ADVANCE and I will set up a special listing for you so that you will only pay the shipping once. This is if you tell me IN ADVANCE, not if you ask for it later because any shipping money paid has already been docked 4.9% by PayPal and another 10% by eBay and that money is not coming back. Yes, eBay takes 10% of the stated shipping charge since 2011, and PayPal has always taken 4.9% of that money for international and 3% for domestic. So let me know in advance and I can set it up so that you can save a lot of money by buying and shipping the parts together.
I can also set up special listings for different quantities of items sometimes. Usually the price is the same per item but I can set it up and that saves a lot of money on shipping.
