Further note.  These same pots are available from Circuit Specialists, Inc.
(www.cir.com or 1-800-528-1417) for even less money.  They don't carry the
full set of values that Mouser does, but pretty much all of them up to 1M.
The miniature ones (31CNxxx) sell for $.72 (qty 1) or $.60 (qty 10).  These
are .67" diameter pots.  They also have larger ones (.95"), 31VAxxx for
linear and 31VJxxx for audio tapers at $.86 (qty 1) or $.73 (qty 10).  Both
types are available with switches for about $.50 more each.  These are brand
new, but are not Cermet, nor are they sealed pots.
