ok heres the deal... a mate of mine had the bright idea of having his amp and guitar in the boot of his car... ( guitar ontop of the amp which was face up...)

ill give you 3 guesses for what happend...

so now i need to find a replacement pot for the reverb... its a 50k small pot but it has a different mounting than ive seen on most amps... it has a bracket on each side of the pot that is solderd to the board... no wires...

i know someone will tell me to simply glue the knob back on bt the shaft of the pot broke below the bush of the pot and i know how much skill by mate has with superglue... he'll end up with his face stuck to the front of the amp...

any ideas if replacement pots are available from fender? or is there another pot i could use?!?!

In addition to being a 50K snap-in pot, you need to know what the "curve" of the pot is (audio, linear, etc.). In any case it should be one of these:
