Thanks for the advice. Turns out, Radio Daze has the couplings for a coupla bux each, so I bought one from them, plus a 500K switched pot off eBay designed for a guitar amp. (Turns out 500K Audio taper is a very popular pot for guitars, and I'm using a split shaft Stratocaster pot temporarily until I get the switched one I bought.)

I would prefer the original pot, of course, but what can I do?

Dan.
