All,
I'm looking online for a 100K tone pot with audio taper and 1 inch shaft.
I've checked Tom Bradshaw but it looks like he only stocks volume pots.
Any ideas?

| Clarostats are the best if you can get one. I know goodrich pedals use to use them. Not sure if they still do. |

| I misread the post. Looks like youre looking for a tone pot not a volume pot. The volume pots are usually 250k to 500k I think. Maybe you can search ebay for a 100k pot. |

Jim,
I ordered this (less than 3 bucks) but the shaft is too narrow for the pulley and set screw to fit correctly. Also, the whole unit is smaller than I though.
Dave,
I don't see that AS has what I need. Or am I just not seeing it?
Shoot, I can't give up yet. |

| From looking at the specs it appears that the shaft diameter is 3.18mm. I could make you a pulley to fit that or a sleeve to adapt your pulley to that shaft if that is the only drawback however that diameter might not be stout enough to withstand the rigors of what being in a volume pedal might ask of it. |

Emmons used 1964 100k pots on the Wraparounds and all of the metal neck bolt one I have seen. Even a couple early cut tails from 1968.

Thanks all, but so far I'm still not finding the right type of pot online. And I really want to get this Bigsby pedal up and running.
I wonder if I can contact Lee Jeffries? He posted the Speedy boo-wah recipe for the Fender V/T. So I wonder if he'd know where to find these pots? And I know he's on the forum. |

I did not realize that you were looking for the Bigsby tone pot. I readily find them on ebay whenever I need them. You can get the reverse taper ones too.
Also, Jim P offers a great solution.
