PEC RV4 pots are used by quite a few of us. 100K thru 1M available in 10% audio taper. They are well made, N. American manufacture, not Asia, and are in stainless steel so you can't solder to the backs, not that I would ground that way myself anyway.

AES (tubesandmore.com) has them in 3/8" long shafts which are right for most builds but not Express with wooden faceplate--too short then. IIRC they are about $10 each.
