What are people using to replace their Goodrich pots?

Amplifiers, effects, pickups, electronic components, wiring, etc.

Dunlop Hot Potz 470K. S/B available through dealer Bill Ferguson or Goodrich with the smooth shaft.

Other sources have a flat milled on the shaft, they work but you are limited to one position for the taper.

I put Dunlop pots in both of my old Goodrich volume pedals. I bought mine from Tom Bradshaw many years ago and they have been working flawlessly ever since installing them.

There are only two options as I see it.
Either I'm right, or there is a sinister conspiracy to conceal the fact that I'm right.

Did not mean to omit Tom Bradshaw who has been serving steel guitarist's needs at least since I started in 70s, likely longer. He's a true steel nut and has certainly given to the community much, much more than he has taken.

Sorry Tom, must have had a brain freeze.

I have bought from Tom Bradshaw and those he sells are good stuff.
