David, you did not reply :-)
Is it better to replace them?

To whom it may concern:
The right replacement from the (italian) catalogue of RS components is
125-742
TRIMMER T93YB 10K
.

Would be great! Calibrating those screws is a delight... :-)
If anybody already did that, please let us know where to go for those components...
