Hi

looking for a part for a KORG T-1 keyboard

The part is referred to as VR2, 10KB LCD contrast control on the
schematic for the KLM-1373 pc board. The parts list unfortunately
doesn't use the "VR2" designation, but the only 10K listed under VRs
for the 1373 board is:
  Parts code 360021200
  Parts Name/Specifications RK09K1110AB2A  10KB

I am unable to find this potentiometer to control the LCD contrast. 
It has 3 pins to attach to the circuit board. 

I will pay a premium if you can help me to find and order it!
I can send you a picture of the part.  

Please HELP!  Thank you very much

That's an ALPS 10k pot RK09K type.

Mouser sells that series: www.mouser.com 
Probably any 10k linear pot will work but the ALPS unit will fit the PCB.

I haven't seen my reply come up yet so I'll try again... :)

These are ALPS pots - RK09K series. They are available at Mouser.com
