    I notice that the wafer on the Peavey pots holding the rear stabilizer pin has all three lug holes. It might be possible to drill the rivet and relocate the rear stabilizer pin to an analogous location.

      The Peavey pots are 16mm. I could be wrong but I think the Traynor ones are 24mm. I think that would make the leg spacing wrong but I'd probably try them anyway, depending on whether the bushing diameter will work. Looks like the Peavey ones have the spacer built in (brass instead of plastic).

        It wouldn't take much work to fit a long shaft guitar style pot on flying leads, wouldn't you agree.

        These have a 3/4"shaft and a small amount of packing will suit the original knob.

        If you can't fix it, I probably can.

          Yes it is removable. The (can't remember the term at the moment) part the shaft goes through is quite long. I think they adapted a design that was close so it would fit right from the looks of it.

          Thanks for the suggestions, since the pots are gone anyway I will take one apart and see what the track looks like. Every one of them makes enough noise at various levels to know they're really bad. I'll post a pic when I have one apart.
