I have a Dominator with a broken pot. It's not one I recognise. Any suggestions on what brand it might be?

Legends are B10KX2 and T?9018

Body is about 17mm diameter, shaft is D-shape and the boss is the same diameter as the shaft

PCB pin pitch looks to be 5 mm

Dual 10K pot turned stepped, no ? Contact spray didn't do it? If completely gone, maybe try take apart and replace conducive parts only ?

If repair for authenticity is a no-brainer, might use a pot with detents. Maybe even just a centre-detented one for 'zero' position ?

No space for real stepped rotaries inside those units, IIRC. But last time I looked into a 722 is a few years already.
 
Original pot was smashed in transit - the usual problem with things badly packed!

I'll look for a pot that can be used a s substitute & will report back when I do. Thanks for the replies so far!
 
Sorry for the necro bump,
if I disassemble one of these from a Dominator II, I need to drill out the rivet which holds the shaft and the stepping mechanism.

Is it possible to fasten it back together? Seems like rivet is a one way street to failure town LOL

Has anyone fixed/cleaned one of these before?
