Don't know where you're located, but here's one in Europe:

https://www.customworldguitarparts.com/ ... g-a39.html

They say it's 3/8" in diameter (should be 5/8" or 16mm), but that must be wrong as it's listed under JM/Jag parts. I'd check first, though.

Alpha 16mm pots with (EDIT) 6mm solid shaft should also be available through Mouser etc. It'll drop right in.

EDIT: It'll need to be 6mm solid shaft. Alpha also makes them with 6.3mm shaft diameter which seems to be more common.

So you what to change the 1meg mini pot from stock vintage linear to log (audio) ?

Here's a few possibles .. some solid, others mostly spline shafts ... not sure any are exactly what you need ...
