Creative SBS 370 2.1 Speakers

I got problem with volume control knob. As you seen in image.
It's actually potentiometer. 5 pin potentiometer.

I searched to buy that whole speaker control online..

Bestron USA, Inc.: F10MM Thin Micro Potentiometer 5 Pin

but it's abroad... So please help... Anything similar found in India, specially in Mumbai.
It can be found in lamington road, Mumbai. But I'm lazy to search there. :)

And how much resistance needed for my 2.1 creative sbs 370 speaker?
I think, I need 1K only. Any suggestion from Digitians ?
