Does anyone happen to have the part number for the volume pot on tower models?
Previous owner mangled the pins on mine.
I think it's basically a Dual 10k Ohm Alps potentiometer similarly to this one

but with a smaller stem, probably specially made for sharp or no longer produced.
I have replaced the one in my Expert by modifying the stem.

The stem on that part (https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/688-RK09K12A0A2K) is way too big to really modify. How did you cut it down?
I thought about just cutting the assembly open and just swapping the shaft over but the old shaft is what actually broke.
It might be possible to 3d model and print a new knob that will fit, but that would be something of an ordeal.
Turns out that you can cut it down through careful and measured flushcutter abuse:

Installed it and it works great. You may want to order more than one pot in case you mess up - in my case I had to file the connecting end of the knob down very slightly.
