The major problemn is find new pot with same phisical dimentions of the old, the same leght of axis and the key in apropriated angle.
The good pots (like Saitek's) seems fit with some standards in size and the trail and shaft can resize or recalibrate with a little work - or the old ones could be cleand and lubricate. A musician/guitar forum could help for the tricks.

Thanks for the tips! I will check the HALL sensors, but now I need only some knob to turn before me and pots below them.
Cheers!
