I was going through my stash of 10 turn pots this week, I think I have a dual 1k 10 turn if you need it. 10 turn precision pots don't need "oil" or cleaning, they're helical wire wound with a slider. Carefull when soldering the connections, too much heat and you'll loose the connection, result, dead pot.

Some can be dis-mantelled,tricky fiddly job though.
