Everybody's specific requirements in their intended usage differ.
500 ohm pot might not allow you to go as low a voltage as your new telecom Deka specifies.
But getting wires to the circuit board in place of original Pot is hard part.
Substituting 1K ohm pot for 500 ohm pot afterwards is only money and a quick easy dab of solder.
If a cheapo 10 turn pot, hook dmm to it and watch as you spin dial. there could be weird spikes along that 3600 degree range.
Mine developed them.
Caig Deoxit f5 fader lube eliminated them, and freed my friend's guitar amps from crackling.
