Yellow Brick

[Dream Unlocker]

What it is is my yellow brick i brought about 1/2 a year ago and its been working fine since apart from me tightening the yellow controlers too much on the first day and snapping it but i left it since and its been ok for a while until now. I opened it up and opened the silver box inside the yellow plastic cover and where the two yellow controlers are theres a green box with a little plastic thingy not too sure what its called it moves up and down when you adjust the signal power it has a crown attached to it so its a plastic thing with small metal plates attached to it 4 of them that move up and down when you adjust the signal. All of them have broke because they were bent i tried the do it your self technique to straighten them and then the inevitable happened and i broke them totally and now my dm 500c its connected direct , but singal is lower 93% on some channels with booster on it was 95%/96% i was wondering do i have to buy a new booser or can someone guide me in finding those fragile little plastic controlers ... You must know what it is if you've opened this yellow brick before.

Errrr No!
Not something I have ever thought of taking apart. As for the parts you busted i doubt you will be able to purchase separately. Perhaps be a little less ham fisted next time you replace it. :silly:

I opened mine up and had a look, it appears to be a potentiometer/trimmer (be warned I suck at electronic engineering), I don't understand the 22db though if it is just a pot?

On the side it says FD 75 Ohms 22db.

I looked on farnells web site and google images but couldn't find a match, sorry. I'm no expert though, someone else might be able to find a replacement. And if it really is just a simple potentiometer then you should be able to find a replacement that does the job but doesn't look the same. Or just replace it with a resistor.
