Push-pull volume pot for 4003...Where to get one?

Hello, brothers and sisters,

I've been looking for a push-pull 250K volume pot to replace the treble volume pot of my 4003, for use with a .0047 mfd cap. That would give me the options of both original and .0047 cap filtered treble PU sounds to choose at will.

However, the major brand (StuMac, Dimarzio, etc.) push-pull pots require at least 1 1/8" control cavity depth, which the 4003's is no more than 1".

So would anyone please tell me where to get a proper one?
Thanks.

There's a very interesting looking one, made right in your back yard. The Taiwanese company, Alpha-Xicom 313-1601-500K is about 26 mm thick, which might just slip in.

It's pictured in the Mouser Catalog:

Item D, upper right on this PDF. The terminals are for PC board but it's the only one I've seen so far with such a small size.

I haven't tried this and can't endorse it yet, but I do have one on its way to me.
