I have a vintage Gibson Scout amp and I am trying to find a 2 Meg Audio taper pot.

What type of shaft? (slotted-knurled or solid)

They are not easy to locate, but here you go:

If that doesn't work, I looked at the schematic (and I am assuming it is the reverb drive) you can probably get away with a 1 meg audio taper since the passive circuit right before it already being loaded down by a 500K pot.

I can find the 1 Meg everywhere but was trying to keep it like it came. I've had it since 1966. I was told the 1 Meg would work, but I wasn't sure. If you think the 1 Meg will be fine I will probably go with it. Yes, it is for reverb.

Follow that link I put in my previous reply and check out what they have and whether it will suit your needs shaft-wise.
