Hi, can anyone point me in the right direction to buy an Alps RK12L 12A 50K ohm horizontal volume pot for my Nytech Obelisk.
Still love the sound of the amp but the volume pot is damaged.
Looked everywhere on the 'net but can only find the Alps "Blue". The one I require is the earlier version, picture attached.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Don't see a picture here.
But Mouser has a bunch of Alps RK12L series pots.
I just googled your part number and found lots, her is the data sheet for the series, scroll down to the page that makes up the part number.

OK how about this? What is wrong with the old pot? Broken shaft? Broken resist wafer? Broken wiper?
These little pots come apart by unbending the small metal tabs. Si if the shaft is broke, buy a new one of the same series - any value will do - and take them apart and put the new shaft in the old pot. Likewise a busted wafer, buy a wrong style pot of the right resistance and taper, and transfer that wafer into the old body and shaft.
I have done that many times over the years, and never had a problem. In fact I save the remaining new parts in my pot drawers in case some future repair needs the unused parts in similar manner.
Isn't this what you want?
