I believe Goodrich has gone to using 500K pots in their 10K pedals now. I know the 500K pots work fine in the 10K pedals as I've used the Dunlop pots as replacements on the advice of Tom Bradshaw.

I used an L10K pedal for several years and sold it to get a Hilton. That particular pedal had a 10K pot in it and I never had a problem. Goodrich no longer uses the 10K pots in the 10K pedals adn I'm certain the expense in changing the name would not be a viable option. But two 10K pedals I've had since came with 500K pots and yes, I had to replace these and used Dunlop pots with success.

June 18, 2009 Tom Bradshaw stated:
Goodrich no longer puts a 10K pot in any of their pedals. I don't know why, but suspect that stocking two different sizes of pots was just too expensive to continue doing, and, their "10K" pedals functioned just as nicely with a 500K pot as they did with the 10K pot. They seem to function fine with my 470K pots.
