Here's another picture. This is the pot with the shaft broken off, but you can see the PC mount pins. Then there's the knob. Inside the knob you can see a metal casing that goes around the shaft to hold it on tight (these can be removed from the knob).  Any idea where to buy these online Mark? Or could I order from that company?

I second the motion to contact the pedal manufacturer about a replacement pot.  Many times pots are ordered by the company to exactly fit the specs for their pedal (shaft type, shaft size, value, etc.) and sometimes an off-the-shelf replacement is difficult to find.  This might save you a big headache trying to find the exact pot.  I have run into this with the Arion pedal pots, there doesn't seem to be an exact off-the-shelf replacement around, and the company is basically out of business.

Props to Line6...I gave them a call and to my great surprise there was a number on their phone menu for replacement parts. Talked to the guy and he is sending out a pot at no charge because he had a lot of them around. Great service!

Problem solved, thanks for the suggestion!
