I replaced the volume pot on my tube preamplifier.

Replaced the two mono Alps pots in phono preamp with Tocos (Tokyo Cosmos), RV24 units. I heard good things about these pots on other forums. Fair bit of work getting them to fit into the Croft 25R. I had to loosen the tube boards and drill out the mounting holes for the larger threads. The pots were only $26 for both inc tax and shipping. Huge improvement in speed, clarity, solidity, and transparency. I'm blown away.

This VC should fit quite nicely and give you a substantial improvement in sound quality.

TKD is a little hard to get in the US. Michael Percy is normally the best source, but I'm not sure whether he stocks motorized versions. Google him and reach out to him.

Good luck!

I replaced my pots both left and right  in my Quicksilver Full Function Preamp

with the TKD P65CS 100K. The  results exceeded my expectation 10x's.

The Alps were ok these are on a whole other level

Well worth the trouble.
