inexpensive pots ?

     For this kind of thing you should look at surplus. Git out the yeller 
     pages and call around to find surplus houses in your area, then spend 
     an entire Saturday cruising. Do not expect to find specifically what 
     you are looking for - instead expect to find a whole box of something 
     that you can make work. For example I recently bought 50 100K linear 
     pots for .50 apiece, and they didn't have nuts and washers, so I went 
     to another aisle and got some parts that fit and they threw those in 
     for free.
     
     All Electronics Supply in Van Nuys has lots of pots. There's a bunch 
     of other places that I can't remember at the moment.

   Because I've decided to put alot of controls on my ASM-1 project,
I'm looking for a good source of inexpensive but not crummy pots, preferably 
miniature and cermet. So far I've only come across some Spectrol pots in
the Mouser catalog for around 4.00. This could get expensive. There are also 
some pots made by Piher in the Mouser catalog for around 2.00 but they look 
like they have plastic shafts and do not seem to specify if they are carbon 
or Cermet or what.
   Anyone have any suggestions ?
