Hello everyone. New member here with a question. I hope this is the right place to post this...apologies in advanced if I'm in the wrong place.

I have an old made in Japan Boss DD-3 delay pedal with a failing level control. Usually I can't turn the effect down past 12:00 on the dial and sometimes the effect totally cuts out.
I opened the pedal and zapped the pot with DeOxit as best as I could but that didn't seem to help very much. 

My question is if I can replace that pot myself and where do I get the correct pot?

I have some soldering skill although I'm not what you'd call an expert by any means.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much!

Is it this one?:

From the schematic, it's a typical 50K linear pot, so if you can find one small enough you should be ok.

There's a part number in the service manual (RKO971110 50KB) but I didn't have much luck when I did a quick search.
