Was hoping someone could steer me in the right direction on finding a 10 turn pot that would work on a old school 148 GTL's clarifier , one that might fit one way or the other. Much thanks ! Switch Kit

To get this to fit in a 148GTL, you will need to make some mounting/fitting modifications.

Another option is to use a Cobra 2000 clarifier. It will give you a Course & Fine and will physically fit without modifications. You will need to use "Keyed" knobs but they aren't that hard to find. 20KB + 1KB

Shadetree has the right idea. A multiturn pot is not that useful without a turns-count dial on it. The position of the knob alone tells you little about where a 10-turn control is set.

The count dials tend to cost more than the control, and present a mechanical issue getting them mounted.

Not the best solution IMHO.
