I had to replace a pair of these yesterday on the old SH5 VCOs. I just
used regular pots. in this case they were wired between +10v and -10v with
the center tap tied to 0v. The center tap was not even in the circuit
diagram. I lost the 'click stop' convenience, but in this case it was a
small sacrifice. The old pots were so bad the VCO was untunable.
