What is the most appropriate current production pot to replace the 250k treble fender pot 021857? And what about the 500k?

Found this post with some details but no replacement source https://tubeamparchive.com/viewtopic.ph ... a044613e8a

I've always used Alpha pots. Tried Bourns , which feel better quality but the taper is weird. this should be in the discussion forum by the way.

I managed to get a couple of vintage fender pots 250k #021857. Just wondering if I should use one for the Mid or not

As far as the bass pot I bought a Gibson historic series Pot 500k audio taper PPAT-059. It will be above the 400k reading tho, but hope it will work well
