Do you know what value you need/want? I have a bunch of 1k, 5k, 10k and 100k's, probably never use all of them, if your ok with china brand your welcome to one

Hi there;
I'm no electronics expert - but I do have it out / in hand. Power feed Unit is 110V - really have no idea if its stepped down or not.
Numbers stamped on the back: 026S0226 0620
TIA

When I put the first number in an ali express pot comes up, seems to be 10k, wich makes sense

if you put a multi meter across the two outside terminals it would tell you for sure, assuming it's not totally burnt up

It looks like I have one smooth shaft 10k pot, and a bunch of serrated shaft ones, youll have to pull yours out and see what exactly is in there

Put a multi meter across the two outside terminals - got 10K
This is a smooth shaft, .249 dia. X .750 long

i have 2 different smooth shaft 10k's both are .2340 (6mm) dia shafts, if you are measuring from the body one has a shaft of ~.740 (but from the end of the threads ~ .540), the other 2" from the body and 1.7 from the end of the threads

downside to the long shaft i have here is the body is just shy of 1" in dia,

Yes, measuring from the body, 6mm would probably work. Body of mine is ~ 15/16", plastic top part is 1.125 across.
Will you be at the Calgary meet-up ? I plan on going.

yep, ill bring them both, you can take which ever you like, sounds like the long shaft one might be closer to what you need, you could just cut the shaft down to size
