Sourcing Chiba RVF10 100Ω Variable Resistors

[vaughan14]

Hey, I can't seem to find anywhere that sells these, I've contacted the Chiba online store but they never responded and don't seem to sell them anymore.
Any help would be appreciated.

It's to replace broken Namco Exceleena volume variable resistor.

Bump, any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks, I'll try buy one and report back.

I finally got one in the mail after buying via a proxy, the part works but is slightly different.

The diameter of the white part is slightly larger and the shaft isn't notched for the grub screw for the volume knob.

I filed the shaft in the second picture and it volume knob attaches firmly, alternatively if you didn't break the original you could swap in one from a non working one.

Make sure you order the 100Ω.

Thanks @gitanes

These rheostats also work on Astro City PSUs as demonstrated by @cruzlink2

Yep worked perfectly for my astro cities, the shaft is a bit smaller but you can just adjust with a small flathead. Thanks a gain to @kikaso for getting these for me.
