Thank you very much for the replies. I did search Mouser and Parts Express. There is an ALPS that is very similar, 27mm shaft which is 7mm longer than current, The major downside are the pin locations are tighter fit, 5mm distance, current is 8mm. I ended up carefully taking apart the pot and cleaning it all up, it had a lot of coal black deposits on it, one of the tines on one of the wipers was slightly bent, I aligned that rouge one with the others. Carefully reassembled and resoldered it into the board. Issue is solved. I’m not much of an electronics guy but was super satisfied that it was a successful fix; and the whole thing didn’t spring apart or turn to dust. That is usually my luck.
