The length "L" is from where the pot sits on the
PCB board, to the end of the shaft, but it looks
like this L maxes out at 30mm, and I need 35mm.
I'm fairly sure the original is a Bourns pot, because
the bottom of it says "B202", which shows the taper
profile, and the resistance value.
What to do?Â* Maybe I could cut off the tip of the
original shaft, and just epoxy it onto the new one?
And the longest one that Digikey has in stock, is only 20mm long:

But if I'm gonna epoxy the tip of the old shaft, onto the
new one, it won't matter too much how short the new one is.
The alternative, is to just get a panel mounted pot, instead
of a board mounted one like the original. Then I could just screw
it onto the back panel:

The screw and the washer will partially cover up the -20dB, -5dB,
and MAX indicators that are on the back panel sticker, but the pot will
function the exact same way, and quite possibly will last longer, as the
panel mount pots are bigger.
Any feedback is appreciated.
