No, you're going to have to order it from Mackie... the things are
mounted directly on the PC board and consequently they need to have the
exact same form factor as the original. Mackie won't charge much for
them.

If it's like the earlier 1202s, it's a 10K log taper pot (assuming you
mean the fader and not the trim control... the trim is a reverse log taper).

Thanks for the info...I will contact Mackie.

I had a two scratchy pots on a 1202VLZPro. Mackie sent them out
with no talk of money. The circuit board was a very tight three
layer job. There are five pins that have to be dealt with.
Just getting the old pot out took some artistry. I somehow failed to
get everything right, and the knob now has no effect. It was the
control room out which I send into an amp, so it doesn't bother me much.

Got a reply from a Mackie rep. Figured I'd post this here in case
someone is searching this forum in the future ...it will save them a
few emails:

Here is the description:
POT 50KG 12MM DUAL WO SLV



PART NUMBER : 130-061-02 (ALL CHANNEL VOL POT'S)
PRICE (List/Dlr) : $2.86 / ea
AVAILABILITY : IN STOCK

Thanks again,
Brian

My technique it to cut all the accessible pins (since the pot is already trash)
and remove those pins individually. I do the same with bust ICs etc too. Even
resistors.

That gives you a far better chance of not damaging the critical circuit board.

See Scott's post too but expect replacing it to be a bitch of a job.

I'm currently working on a Midas Venice and My God, I cannot imagine how
they could have constructed it to be less serviceable.
