I have a dbx 120XP with three broken pots. They are an odd size - the body is around 12.5mm square and they have a 6mm splined shaft 20mm long measured from the face of the pot. The shaft is stepped so the threaded housing is also 6mm in diameter. The pins appear to be on a pitch of 3.75mm

There's no makers name but the twin-gang 20K log pot is marked 15A20KX2. Googling that description brings up a listing for a pot made by Noble that doesn't look anything like the dbx pot

Pic of the damaged twin-gang pot attached. Both sets of connections have been broken off, one refitted for the photo

They are similar to a Bourns PDB18 Series 17mm but are physically smaller

I've searched through Farnell, Rapid, RS & Mouser so far

Thanks

Nick Froome

Here is the description of the dual gang part in the DBX service manual I think

20 K "A" 12mm Rot Pot X2, 20mm Knurled shaft
 
Thanks for the reply. I think I am going to go for this and see if I can make it fit:
