Boss DR-55 repair question

Hello again,

Today I received my boss dr-55 drum machine. It was shipped to me, and was 
packed very well, but, after my first glance at it, I noticed something 
wrong. The tone pot was obviously bent, and I got curious and took it apart 
to see if there was any damage. 

Sure enough, the pressure that the tone pot received had broken the solder 
joints for the pot and pulled up the traces on the board, too. That's really 
not a big deal, the problem is, I removed the pot and I found that it had 
been broken when ever it was mishandled. I need to replace this pot for the 
tone control to work,and I'm concerned that I am not going to find something 
that fits in there properly. Does anyone have the schematics for this unit, 
or do you know the value of the tone pot and where could i get one? Do you 
think mouser would carry something that fits?

As always, any information is very much appreciated.

Thank you,
Jason
