Identifying trim pot value

Have been looking all over for a match to this one, a MIT ds-1 tone pot. Mine snapped off and is unturnable. I will be adding some MIJ components but would like this to be fixed as well. I know its a total noob question, but the pot is labeled M20KB. Is that just a 20 k trim? or 1000 20k? I am confused and can't , for the life of me, find a replacement. Thanks

It's a 20k linear. "A" at the end means "logarithmic" or "audio taper", "B" means linear, "C" is anti-log and there are one or two others that are really rare. You usually only see "A" or "B".

Thanks, so I am assuming the M is meaningless, like a part or reference number?
