Pot replacement on Alesis

I have an old Midiverb III I would like to replace the pots on. I know that normally it probably isn't worth doing on the old thing but for what I have into it (zero $), why not. Would anyone know the values on these pots? And if they are audio or linear taper?

Thanks all.

OK...I have taken the top off and found stickers on the back of each of the three pots. Input, Mix, & Output. Both the Input and Output are labeled "A10K" which I assume is a audio taper 10k ohm pot. The Mix pot is a bit different. It is labeled "B1K" I would take this as a 1k ohm pot but unsure from there. Any ideas???????

I believe they are linear taper. You should be able to find them through Digikey or Mouser. Try here....

Possibly something like Figure B???? I don't own own a Midiverb, so I'm unsure of..ahem...shaft length and mounting structure.

Who'd have ever thought that someone calling themselves M10K would know about pots...

Intrumentalparts.com offers them but they say it's a "special order" item. Sent an email straight to Alesis to see if they can help.

Neither Digi-key or Mouser had them that I could find. But, I did find them elsewhere.
