Hi OSG,
I've been searching for Jazzmaster rhythm circuit mini pots (1M, 50K) for weeks now. The problem isn't finding the pots. Apparently, Fender has stopped sending these parts to dealers with their nut and washer. Half the time, even the sellers weren't aware of the change (wrongly advertised through using stock photos/my return request).
- Does anyone know the mini pots shaft/thread length? (So I can just buy the parts from Mouser, Digikey, etc.)
Or
- Does anyone know where I can buy the mini pots that include the nut and washer?
Thanks!

Bought a few this summer at
Vision Guitar in San Jose, CA.
It looks like a small shop from the outside....but inside....man, it-s Alibaba's Cave of guitar parts!!!
And just a fragment of it you can see on their web. Nice bunch of people works there, too.

I never had any luck finding the right mini pots at Mouser, but they do have the nuts - the Fender parts are threaded 1/4"-32. Anyway, the total shaft length from the mating surface is 9/16", with 1/4" of that length being the threaded part.
All pain and troubles melted away like lemon drops beyond the contrails across the sky.
