Fender bias balance pot

[panhead]

Anybody know where I can get a new 4-lug 10k linear Fender style bias balance pot?

Option: Modify the circuit to use two bias pots.

Thanks, but that's not an option in this case. The guy want's to keep it as original as possible, meaning no extra holes drilled in the chassis. I looked at Doug's bias conversions here, but again, no mods - just repair. I had to argue just to put a grounded power cable and disconnect the ground switch.

Then you could swap a pot from another amp after installing Doug's bias conversion in that other amp.

Good luck. I'd hit every amp forum I could and ask if anyone has a used pot to sell.

IMO, the owner is an idiot... I guess he wants the amp to sound crappy too.
These days it's easy to get matched tubes. Change the balance to adjustable...
Tell him it's not a mod it's an improvement.
