Anyone know where I could find one?

Did Rickenbacker consistently use the same brand of pot? I know the pot values are all over the place, as are tuners - it's like they used whatever they could get. Basically, I'm wondering if it really matters what pot is in there or if any off-the-shelf replacement will do.

The earliest frypans and volume only Bakelites usually had large 100 K Centralabs

Anyway , I like these as replacements (nice taper)
