New 10k Stereo log pot for Musical Fidelity A100 - sources?

[AlexM]

Hi All,

I have an antique Musical Fidelity A100 amp with a crackling volume pot. I think it uses an ALPS Blue Velvet 10K stereo log pot, but can't tell. Can anyone confirm and suggest a source for a replacement?.

Are there any other Stereo 10K log pots to consider?.

Thanks and regards,
Alex

Could you take a photo? If it is a blue velvet, what about:
It is 50k though (http://www.rapidonline.com/sku/Electronic-Components/Resistors-Potentiometer/Control-Potentiometers/Professional-audio-potentiometer/65228/66-0225) or this German chap on eBay who sells the 10k version too (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALPS-RK27-Pot-audio-taper-volume-10K-50K-100K-250K-1M-/350371174624?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5193bfd8e0).

Have you tried cleaning the pot you've got Alex?

I expect the pot will need more than cleaning, it lives in a hostile environment. Hopefully not as bad a the A1 which put DC across the pot.

You can get replacements at:

The other pots on offer will sound different (probably cleaner), whether they are to you taste is another matter.
