So... I was playing around with a volume nob on my Epiphone Les Paul and this is what happened:

I took a picture of the pots before I massaged one shaft off, but what can I buy that'll be a plug in replacement for this? The particular pot had B500k stamped on it (my guitar has three volume knobs [B500k] and one master tone knob [A500k]). Where can I get a replacement pot that will fit with the knobs without adjustments? I can solder no problem, but I just don't want to buy something that requires a larger hole, or a different knob. I saw Full Sized 500K Audio Pot- Alpha Brand at guitarfetish, and Standard Control Pots at Stewmac. Would those work?

Thanks!
