I saw a couple of you posting you were looking for Deacons and Breadwinner replacement pots. While I do not have a source for the pots I do have a fix. The problem with most of these pots is carbon composition resistance element wears out and no longer contacts with the wiper. What you need to do is take the carbon composition resistance element and wiper from a new pot of the same value and replace the parts in your old pots with the new components.

The new terminals will not reach the circuit board so you will have to use the fix I am posting below. This worked perfect for me and the guitar sounds great. If you do not feel comfortable opening up a pot and replacing parts take this post and the pictures to a tech. Good luck!
