You are right for new ones of course, but I have to say that I never had 
"scratchy pot"-troubles with gear from the last 20 years.

But the threadstarter talks about a potentiometer, that was a custom 
device made for Korg back in 1984.
If you restore gear like 70's and early 80's synths then you are faced 
with the unobtainable mechanical hardware all the time.
