bump , I knew it's not going to be easy to find those potentiometers

Potentiometers from the same CP16 (red plastic ) series with close enough values from 4k7M to 6k6M will also be considered. They were used in DNM series of "plastic" preamps
TIA.

Just had a look in my stash, I have several NOS Colvern pots but not those values, have you a pic at all? Will help me see if I have one somewhere else.

Definately don't have any of those, but whilst searching online I found a reference on the EEVblog forum - Philips PM5135 func. generator : FIXED ! - Page 1 as to a possible replacement - 10K M-SERIES VINTAGE LINEAR SEALED PLESSEY POTENTIOMETER x1PC | eBay these are sold by Langrex a valve and vintage parts supplier, I've bought stuff off them in the past. If these will do as a replacement I'd be happy to help ship some over to you if needed.

Thank You Andy. I will try for a little longer to get the original part and if that fails I will order those pots . From the description it looks like they sell abroad.
All the best.L

well I bought those Plesssey pots and they are nice but pinout is different and its impossible to fit it in. What a drag ..so I'm still on the quest to find the original CP16 series Colvern pots. close enough values to pictured 5.6KM will be fine too.
