Thanks for your help, and I suspect you are correct.  The Yamaha parts look very different and any lash-up would be a mistake.  The only problem is that whatever we have to spend repairing th guitar, increases the price we have to sell at in order to make any profit.  Thanks again,

Good evening, @Strongles, and ...

 

 

Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share. 

 

I doubt that you'll find those parts as originals, although you could try Yamaha themselves. They don't have stocks, really, but you might get lucky. I would suggest rather that you take the guitar to a reputable guitar repair shop, who will be able to replace with equivalent parts with no problems. It shouldn't cost an arm and a leg, and would be done correctly. I can't see your location; that information would help in recommending somewhere. Hope this helps.

Good afternoon, I am new to the site.  I work in an Multiple Sclerosis charity shop, repairing and Pat-testing electrical gear.  I have a Yamaha GS200 with damaged electronics, namely a badly mauled volume pot and a dicky pickup switch the likes of which I have not seen before. I'd be grateful if you could recommend a replacement pickup switch, and possibly where I can buy a volume pot designed for installation on a PCB .  Many thanks for any help you can give me.
