UK part question

[Mr Fixit]

HI I am after a 20k pot similar to this one from farnell

http://uk.farnell.com/jsp/endecaSea...pot&Nty=1&showImages=true&N=401&Ntk=gensearch

but I am after one with a splined shaft so it matches the original so I can
reuse the knob,its from a gain control on an guitar amp

In the past I've found it to be a relatively straightforward matter to
reduce the size of the 'plastic spindled' variety of pot so that the knob is
a nice tight push-on fit.

I just emailed the maker (why I never did before is beyond me) and they are
sending one free of charge so that's hopefully a result

You could try swapping the original for the 10K or 47K version. For a
mere 38p it would be worth trying it out. My guess is you wouldn't
notice a whole lot of difference (if at all) over the 20K version.
