....I want to know if it's a linear type or logarithmic.
And MAACO told you that it will be "log".
Looking at the plan, I agree: while either will "work", a Linear will be very twitchy (hard to adjust) at low volumes.

Thanks matee.I missed it. Will try to a suitable 20Kohms to replace it.
For future reference all volume pots for audio will be logarithmic. Quick google gave the below link.

Here’s a link on these forums about another Rotel amp volume pot replacement. First response, from Ian Finch, covers the salient points.

Further, worth asking ALPS if they stock a new 20k log model of equivalent dimensions (in body size, pin spacing, etc) that could be substituted.
