I'd try cleaning them first. I've only run into one or two pots over the years that really needed to be replaced that weren't physically broken. For replacements, CTS 250K ohm Audio taper with 1/4" shaft.

Nice going on your refinish, btw. I've really enjoyed my Triple Black since I got it back. All the TLs are feeling ignored. I'm sure you're going to love yours.

Oh okay. I just figured that with a 50 cent pot, it could always be replaced.

I would use the cleaner from Radio Shack. It's always simpler to do this and reuse the same pots as were included in the original build.

You also need to remember that in the case of two volume pots, it is rather important to keep them paired up. Pots have a 10% tolerance and what is tagged as 250K may be actually 225K or 275K.

The manufacturers usually do a good job at pairing the pots together in that type of application.
 
Contact cleaner worked.

Bass is finished and back together.
