Not sure how to post a picture. Have a amp made by Road 1-10 inch speaker combo. Does not tell me what model or anything. Talked with a guy who knew a lot about Kustom (met Bud Ross, etc.) and he suggested asking about it here. Any help would be appreciated. I will post a pic if someone can tell me how to do that. Thanks in advance.

The guy I talked with at Elite Sound (Colorado) had a price book and it listed models with 12's and 18's but no single 10. The tag on back says Los Angeles, CA. How do you post a picture? Answer about picture link: From Kustom Forums, "You cannot use links until you have posted more than 10 messages." eh?

Those are the same type of pots used by Kustom since the design of the K200A series amps. They allow for the mounting of the pc boards by way of the pot sleeves and also eliminate the need for running wires to and from the pots.
If the knobs just turn there are two things to check. One is to be certain that the knobs are tight and not spinning on the shaft and two, check to be certain that the metal covers that are on the back of the pots have not been pushed off, allowing the shaft assembly to miss the crimped in stop block.
The shaft is designed to be stopped at the ends by a physical fold in the back cover. If the cover is forced back, off of the pot assembly, the shaft can miss hitting the block and spin freely.
Oh yeah, welcome and happy tenth post.

I will venture to guess that those pots are not going to be available anywhere, unless you steal them from another Road amp of that same vintage.
The pots that Kustom used were 25mm US made CTS pots. Antique Electronics had some from the old Kustom stock. The pots that you have are 16mm Far East made, probably by Alpha. The plastic wiper assembly will break like that from age or from having the shaft pushed in from the front or from prying off a too tight knob.

Being as you have all the peices ,and there plastic I would just glue them back together with some Tenex, or if they are made of a engineering type plastic Pematex, 3M and others make a two part plastic glue for that type stuff!
If there is room you can also get some .010" thick plastic from a hobby shop and reinforce the repair joint.
Also as long as the carbon track section isn't busted you may find NOS pots on line but not of the circuit board type to act as donner's for new parts!

My guess is that he didn't pay for the stupid expensive Photobucket upgrade and lost the ability to link photos on forums, etc.
Buy thanks for the update about how it all worked out.
