Re: CPS1 Volume Pot
Yes, you can.
Does it make cracking sounds when you turn it? The 'wipers' in these old pots tend to scratch and become useless over time, so if you have the pffftchrrrchrss sounds when you turn it, that's the problem right there.

Re: CPS1 Volume Pot
Just put in "10k potentiometer" in the eBay search.. Check your old pot so it's not a 1k, 50k or something.
Up the Irons!

Re: CPS1 Volume Pot
If it's not completely FUBAR you should be able to desolder and measure it.

Re: CPS1 Volume Pot
Keep in mind that volume pots are generally logarithmic.
