Potentiometer for Tesoro Compadre?

[pine3874]

What size potentiometer do I need to use as a replacement on a Tesoro Compadre? Also, where can I buy one? Marked 5E3. Thanks

Ought to be able to go to Mouser Electronics and match it up. Or if they have a chat service they should be able to help.

Thanks for the reply, but in order to match it up I need to know the specs(ohms, watt, etc).

With an Ohm Meter you should be able to tell what it is. It is easier to figure out the taper (linear vs audio taper) with an analog meter where you can watch the needle swing as you adjust, but you can get an idea with a digital meter too. It should be fractional wattage, not a lot of energy goes through the pots on those.
