WTB ALPS 5021 Pot

Ok i was given a Boss MT-2 pedal... yes i know its not a great pedal but its a free pedal so im not going to complain. The only problem with the pedal is that the Level Pot shaft has snapped off, so i need to replace it. I desoldered it, the code on the pot reads as follows - ALPS 5021 3A 3V

I'm having a hard time finding this so if anyone has one spare or knows company selling them please let me know! :)



Thanks

Good news, i found the pot at Mouser!

One minor problem i found 3 (from what i can see) identical pots with 3 different part numbers :? :scratch:

Can someone clarify these are the same or am i missing something?

From looking at the catalog page I see different tapers.

Thanks Brink,

Correct, i see the tapers are different, im assuming 15A would be the audio log pot, as oppesed to 1B which would be Linear.
