Jan 2024: Please note the original Alps potentiometer is no longer stocked in North America! We will ship an original alternative for VR1, Alps RK09712200HA, which has a longer shaft. The Objective2 circuit board has two sets of pads at VR1, so be sure to mount RK09712200HA in the deeper (furthest back) position.
