Antique has a CTS, which is a pretty good pot, 50K reverse log in the CTS section. $6.95 Might work in an API circuit. I am just using a linear pot in my Melcor, dosen't do much at the low settings, but that region is not used much anyway.

The 50k reverse log CTS is a Fender spare part, so they're a little easier to find. Omeg's minimum is only 10 pieces and they're very reasonably priced, so it might be less aggravating to order a batch and get rid of what you don't use or keep them as spares.
i've used those bourns pots from mouser for my api preamps. they work fine and feel pretty good (not damped, but mostly smooth with a slight scraping feel). they are pcb mount, and the contacts are smallish and bendy, so you'll likely want to make a small board for them even if you chassis mount them. stiff shrink tubing would probably be okay too.
