Help have an issue with an elite .5

Hey folks, two channels of an elite.5 have a warbling sound. It changes pitch if I touch the gain pot and volume if I turn it up or down but not linear-ly. Pretty sure it's the pot but I can't find any doing the normal google search. Does anyone have a source. Would like at least two. Thanks all.

sometimes you can clean the pot by simply wiping it back and forth 5-6 times while the power is off.

A faulty gain pot can cause a lot of odd symptoms, but I've never heard one cause "warbling". Regardless, the link below should be a suitable replacement. It's a 9mm dual gang 50k "audio"(log) taper pot. In a pinch you can use a linear pot for this application, but since a suitable replacement is still available its best to stick with the stock part.
