Antique electronics carries on , but it's a mini 16 mm type.

No but I would rather go with standard size pot unless you can find a surplus electronic place that has a 25K-RA.

Do you need this pot for the intensity pot in a vibro champ type circuit? If so, Mojo has been using a 50KRA pot in their kit. I haven't heard of any problems.

But it's a tremolo circuit. I would just use any 25K pot. Do you really care if the intensity knob is set on 4, or 6, or 9?

Put a 25k resistor across that 50k pot and its 25k.
