Ordering all the parts I need for my Origin 50 mod and sure as shit there's one component that's out of stock. I've looked elsewhere and have come up empty. I need a 1M audio taper pot for the bass and master volume knobs.

The pots are PCB mount so I can't just grab a random off the shelf 1M pot; it wouldn't fit right. So what would be my best option?
Get 500K pots? <-any way to make these 1M?
A linear 1M pot?
Something else?

For reference, these are the pots I'm looking for in case anyone has another source

you sure it's just a regular 16mm Alpha ??? I use this size in my pedals ...
Yeah, it should be. The link I put in my OP is the one given on the BoM. The part number is Alpha RV16AF-20-15R1-A1M

Ok, I have no idea how I missed it there. I have a few other things I'm buying from Amplified Parts and scoured their site for the pots. Apparently I just suck at searching for things. LOL.

Truth.

Jason & Alex were good enough to put part numbers for a good 95% of the components in the BoM. So that made it a little easier to find everything. Sucks I wasn't able to order it all from one place though. But that's par for the course.

Now I just need to pick out some material to recover the headshell then I should have everything I need ordered for my Origin 50 project.
