Hello Sophie

Do you need to replace the knob (the plastic thing, which sticks on the
the potentiometer) or the potentiometer itself? If it is the
potentiometer then: what is the failure with it? Usually cleaning the
potentiometer solves the most problems.
If you really have to replace the potentiometer: it is a 10kOhm
logarithmic potentiometer. Basically it is a potentiometer from the
company ALPS, which is still available, but unfortunately you won't get
the exact model with the mounting stands. You may try to find a similar
potentiometer without the stands, and then put the inards of the new
potentiometer into the housing of the old one.
Kind regards, Florian
