Replacement pot for Colorsound wah?

Hi there,

I've just found two 70's Colorsound wah's for sale pretty cheap. They
are said to be pretty crappy, sounding scratchy etc and are being sold
as "renovation objects".

Right, so I hope there's little else but some scratchy pots here.
Contact spray might not be enough, dismounting the pot and gently
cleaning the carbon layer with a cotton top might be an option.

But if, it turns out the pots need to be replaced. What kind of pots
do I have to buy? Colorsound wah's don't seem to have the same
cogwheel-turning system like a regular crybaby. But instead there's
some lever at work (see picture). As far as I've read it should be
100K linear pots.... but I guess it must be more complicated than
that?

Also, I've heard something about the Colorsound Wah/swell pedals using
some kind of "double pot" and that replacing the pot might be
resulting in only having one of the original functions, that is wah or
volume.

Any input on this would be most welcome!!

Thanks,

Carl
