Push-Push DPDT pot

[DailyDovetails]

I bought this Yamaha RGX 512J on a bit of a whim this summer and got it cleaned up and playing well.

For the coil tap it has a push-push style switch on the tone control. I have always found the push pull style coil taps to be hard to use reliably but this one seems super easy. It looks like this.

Does anyone know of a source for these new? Preferably in 250k and 500k. A different form would be ok I just mostly want to be able to press it instead of having to grab and pull up.

Apparently, maybe, Yamaha made those... At least per this reddit ghost

That’s a shame if that’s the case. They do work well. Here is a video if anyone is interested.

Were made by Noble
J3-05A 300k was one model listed that I saw
I think alpha purchased noble.
eBay/reverb are probably the only way. No luck at my usual surplus stops.
Saw a yammy pickguard for sale with them on the verb

Fender has one they use(d) in the Baja teles. I modded a T style to have one, years ago.

Was it like this? Looks like they call it an S-1.

I got some Allparts branded dpdt push-push pots from amazon a few years ago for my strat build. They seem solid to me. Amazon has some other cheap off brand options too.

TE 17P series is an option if you want to build a pcb

Those are interesting. I have had good success soldering wires to the PCB lugs directly even.

Probably more reliable than an Amazon one
