Could you tell me the specs of this pot? Can't figure it out ...

My Roland Juno-DS recently started to get a bit wobbly pitch-bending-wise, so I decided to open it up, get rid of the cat hairs inside and replace the pots of the mod/pitch unit.

These looks awfully like those 9mm Alphas (or another brand (not Piber) that escaped my memory). But what do the numbers tell me? 10 61? 1MOhm? And what about the "curvature"?

Please tell me!

My best guess is "10  3" = 103 = 10K.  106 would be 10M, right?

Is it too far gone to measure?

I'm pretty sure I traced a circuit with those exact pots within the last two years.  I remember the numbering style and I remember I found the part number.    I also remember joining the left and right text,

103
613C

I agree with the other guys on the 10K C taper.

The brand might have been Alps (or Alpine).

EDIT:

ALPS is Japanese which makes sense for Roland.
