Funny you should ask -- I'm just sitting down to begin working on a panel
to give me manual control of my old Siel Expander;  using some concentric
pots for the three LFOs (depth & speed) -- found the pots in the salvage
section of my local electronics shop (Al Lasher's of Berkeley) -- 
Did a quick search on Partminer & Arrow search engines & came up empty.
These used to be quite common on home stereo equipment;  I would suggest
checking the salvage & surplus sites (or even stealing one off an old,
garage sale Realistic receiver).
