Well, I'm looking for some pots. I'm having trouble finding some 10k ohm linear CW-CWW, CW, and CCW, 6 pin, 6mm shaft, pc mount pots. Whew! Anybody know of a good source other than Mouser?
for common stuff: www.mouser.com www.digi-key.com www.newark.com cheaper, but small selection.. .sometimes they have odd things, though: www.hosfelt.com www.allelectronics.com www.meci.com more expensive, ok selection www.jameco.com www.elexp.com/
Thanks for the links! I have already checked Mouser and Allelectronics. I will start searching the others.
Yea, I checked them also. No luck. The pots I'm looking for are for my Nightbass. The input gain and stereo master level pots are in need of replacement. I can't gig with it anymore as I can't trust the pots to not cut out on me.
Looks like you'll have to do a bit of hacking. Looking for a specific part in a specific format is usually very frustrating... unless you want 10,000 of something. I don't know what you mean by "CW-CWW, CW, and CCW." Are you looking for a stacked pot? Does it solder directly into a PC board? Good luck looking, but if you don't find it, there should be plenty of suitable parts that will fit with a bit of "finessing."
I'm starting to get the idea I will have to use "different" parts if I can't find what I need. Anyways, the CW = clockwise and CCW = counter clockwise. One pot I need is both. It is a linear dual pot where one side increases in resistance as the other decreases. Oy! I'm so screwed. BTW, they all mount to a PCB. I'm going to contact several of the wholesalers and see what they can do for me as I can't find what I need in their catalogs. I guess I'll have to hope for a little bit of luck. (sigh)
