I'm seeing mixed information on which ones would work best in a 1972 Stage piano. Can someone advise and let me know where I might be able to buy a set?

These days, Vintage Vibe seems to just recommend the later "Bass cut" style rather than the treble cut yours would have had originally. They sell both the individual pots and a prewired set on their site.

Alternatively, you could also go with active electronics instead. Avion Studios makes an active preamp that fits in the 72 namerail. https://www.avionstudios.com/rhodes/retroflyer

Thanks. Yes. The vintage vibe ones are a good option. I also like them as a company. They've been very helpful to me.

I was more wondering what the suggested specs are. kohms and taper.

I like to tinker and would like to try pots from a few different companies.
