I just purchased these volume pots for my 700w thats on the bench. These have a smooth feel to them, and hopefull noiseless. The old ones...terribly noisy.
Just cut off 0.275" off shaft in a vice with a hack saw. file anything sharp off. Then knobs will fit nice, and hopefully sound great forever. Digikey has them.

100K Linear Taper, should do the job very nicely.
When you say "My 700w", do you have a 1st generation 700, a 700b or a 700 SII ?
Thanks for posting.
