Except that the metric shaft bushing is not very long and the shaft is short and it doesn't have PC board pins, the shaft is the right diameter.

Jerry (and others),

You might check out Mouser part number:

313-2420F-250K

This is a dual gang, audio taper, 250K pot.  They also list a linear taper 
version.  $2.73 in
catalog 637.   The only issue I see is shaft length.  Bushing plus shaft are 
0.56 inches.  Don't
know if that is enough.

I've been using one daily in audio service in a gadget I built 9 years ago and 
it still works fine.

Cramolin does not recommend DeoxIT for pots. It might dissolve the
carbon track, but they do make a product designed for pots.

Steve found a pot at Maplin with it looks like the perfect specs to
fit, needing only that the shaft length be trimmed to fit. I'm
thinking of ordering some to have for spares in my Corsair II. Might
be slow on delivery once I convince them my order is real.
