I ordered mine from these guy's as per Boogiebabies suggestion .
They are about as close as you can get these days and have an excellent taper .
They are a little slow for shipping , but have a good selection .
You'll have to fill the slot with a spacer , but other than that , no worries .
I ordered 4 !!

Nice one Buddy thanks for the link that's appreciated , do you also know if these CTS replacements with 1M Ohm Audio Taper are the same spec as the Mark III originals..
I might be wrong here but i thought the Mark III volume pot was 10 Meg ohms
Cheers!

In my MKIII3 on vol 1 is (and the schem ) is 1 Schmegohms .

On an earlier mishap , due to impact , Boogie sent me the mini style 1 meg ,
that had a slightly "bumpy" taper . These(the cts from ampwares) seem to sound and test smoother .
Better' feel ' also . The only diff. is the metal split stem .
