I seem to recall (although it's been a while) that the pots were
manufactured by Allen-Bradley. Those are high-quality pots, and they
should be. They get quite a workout. You don't want to put El Cheapo
(read: Radio Shack) pots in there.
Try Mouser Electronics for these pots. They have pots like these, I
believe. They've got a great catalog.
