Volume pot replacement for Astro City PSU

[gamezer0]

The pot on my Astro City PSU is not working well and I'm looking for a replacement. The pot itself reads:

100 OHM KK
CHIBA RF

Would this pot be a drop in replacement? It's 100 OHM and according to the physical measurements I've taken I think it will, but wanted to double check as my electronics knowledge is pretty basic.

Thanks

In case anyone finds this post in the future: I got this Taiss/RV24YN20S potentiometer and yes, it was pretty much a drop in replacement

@gamezer0 any issues going from a rheostat to a potentiometer?

I just discovered rheostats are a thing xD (so far I thought both were potentiometers)

I haven't noticed any issues. I think the pot might feel a bit less linear (in terms of how the volume is affected) than the original thingy, but I can't be sure. I have another Astro I could compare it with, but it's currently down for a few days and it has a different model of PSU, so I can't really do a fair comparison.
