Well, for Goodrich, try http://www.goodrichsoundcompany.com.

For Ernie Ball, tryhttp://mobile.ernieball.com/products/guitar-volume-pedals/2042/potentiometer-250k-for-6180-vp-jr.

For the Mission, try http://missionengineering.com/?product=vm-pro. I would definitely contact the company on that one. The manual says it is 10K.

Volume Pots

The last pot I got for my Emmons pedal I ordered from Tom Bradshaw, It is a 490K Ohm pot and has the best taper to it I have ever had!! That was in 2009 and it has never had the first noise from it! it is very well inclosed and dust cannot get into it.

I have worn out a couple of the ernie ball pots. They only seem to last a year or two before becoming scratchy. And the Kevlar strings break as well and last about the same amount of time. Still I use them continually, playing out several times a week. (I always have a spare with me, and I am getting pretty good at fixing them.)
