Finding Ti Amp Potentimeter Replacement?

So I have had no luck trying to find replacements for the Xovers, bass boost, and gain, probably because I have no idea exactly what I am searching for.
Example, the Xover consists of 8 independent pots with a rod connecting them. Do I order 8 pieces & basically build the setup from parts (reusing the rod/dial), or do I need to order an entire setup already pieced together?
And lastly, where do I find such parts? I have had no luck on Mouser or Newark, but not certain I am searching the right categories either.

Most PG potentiometers are custom made by different manufactures like ALPS and other. You can still order them but the minimum order is 1000 sometimes 500 and the lead time is about 26 weeks. If you want to order the FREQ pots for TI it's will cost you around $ 4000.00.

They are scratchy sounding while adjusting, is there any way to clean them?

yes, with power off, turn them back and for 15-20 times and that will clean them.

Offered them when I asked previously, so I assume so. Still may have him repair one of my 475s, but I enjoy working on this stuff so I plan to give it a go first. lol
Just cycling the pots up & down will help? Should I use any type of cleaner or just cycle them dry?

Do not use any cleaner
