I haven't used my KEF Kube-1 in quite a while, so when I got it out today I found that the crossover pot has broken. I would like to try and replace the broken pot myself, but I've no idea what type to get, or even where to get it. Can anyone give me a bit of advice on this?
Perhaps the manual will give members a lead:

I was hoping to see some markings on the back of the pot.
I read elsewhere that a physical impact on the control knob can break the pot's resistance track.
Would you be able to remove the pot from the circuit board for close inspection and to attempt a resistance measurement?
At the very least, we may be able to replace the pot with two fixed resistors.

Hey thanks for taking such interest in this. I was hunting the web high and low for information about this sub, possibly even buying a complete replacement volume/crossover board.
So I have a friend coming tomorrow morning to take the board out. I couldn't remove the knobs from the pot posts. They're a very tight fit and I didn't want to force them too much in case I caused more damage. Once the board is out I will be able to get the pot off and see if there are any markings on it. I'll take some photos along the way and post them for you.

OK, we got the audio board out and the pot removed. It is an 8 pin pot, but no markings on what's left of the pot. I've attached some photos showing everything.




Maybe this will help you narrow the search.
