Hoping someone can help me identify a manufacturer logo.
This is for a 12mm rotary potentiometer, out of a piece of equipment that's
about 5 years old (but the small company that made it is out of business and
incommunicado). The example I'm looking at has no markings other than a
manufacturer logo. I'm hoping someone can point me to the right
manufacturer. The logo looks sort of like a side view of Saturn with rings;
or a flying saucer; or perhaps a pair of partly-open lips; or a bit like the
Linear Technology logo only horizontal rather than at 45 degrees. Basically
a circle that's been stretched out at the equator to form two pointy angles.
There is no text nor symbols inside it.
I can't draw it with the proper horizontal alignment in ASCII, but here's an
attempt that's 90 degrees rotated:

I need a pot similar to this for a new design; I'm certainly going to have
to have these custom made, but the manufacturers I know about don't even
offer the options I'm looking for, so if I can find the original mfr I'll
have a head start.
Thanks!
Not a lot to go on really. Is it single hole panel mount, pcb mount as
for use say as volume control on amplifier, through hole pcb mount
trimpot, slotted shaft pre-set or knob, is it linear or log law etc.?
All those things are helpful to know. What is the resistance for
instance? Without that information as a starting point you will be
wasting your time.
Assuming you know the resistance and can guess from its function
whether it is linear or log law, the best you can do is to look
through all the various items you can find on the web from parts
suppliers and see if you can see something similar. You can forget the
custom made angle... unless you want a minimum 100,000 pcs or more and
a wait of 6 months or more. I am sure that you can find something
suitable off the shelf.
