i just did this to my dmg-cpu3 board. underneathe the pot, the board is labled "VRI, 10k x2"
i believe that means that theres 10 through 2 channels, yes?

probs just means its stereo  ; ]

STEREO SOUND!

...stupidly, i was looking at the dimmer pot

at any rate - so i think the vol pot is a 10k micro potentiometer (which makes a lot more sense)

actually took nitro's advice and took one off of a shit blob top GB and transplanted it back onto my good one - only time will tell how long this one will last - workin good so far though...

Even though B means that the Game Boy uses a linear part, I think that a log tapered would be better.


i think a 16mm silder would be awesome personally

(Don't have an opened boy around so I can't check, but it looks like it's smaller than that from the outside.)

link

obsolete part though hmm maybe there is a replacement?

or here

or something like this

or maybe this

kitch - you should stock these...

needs to be 30k though.

It's just a simple voltage divider, so a wide range of values with the same form factor would work.
I'd probably recommend a transplant from a broken boy, or using this one for pre-pot (no-pot) prosound only.

although it may be a part #, not a value marking.  a coincidence, its probably 30k if its marked 303.  303b would indicate it as a linear pot (i think).

right anyone else???

(this may be marked on the schematic as well)

anyone know - so i dont have to get my multimeter out

the original pot that is in it reads 303b or just 303 but, i don't know what that means!
