Hi, can anyone ID this pot from a 1950’s guitar pedal?
Pot says AB 56147 A-0 5-Meg Type J . Overall size can be smaller. Shaft length can be abut 3/4 inches. Thank you

Doing a little digging around on the web, it would appear that it is an old Allen Bradley 2-watt potentiometer. According to this forum, the “A” refers to a type of logarithmic taper, as opposed to a linear taper.
Assuming that the “A” does mean a logarithmic taper and that the value is 500K, then the following are the nearest options that we carry:

I’ll recheck for the decimal. Thank you very much.
