alps pots

[Tony Allgood]

Hi Paul and all,

Just remember with centre tapped pots an important spec is the
resistance between the wiper and the tap when the wiper is in the
middle. It isn't always quite as low as you want. Which means you may
not be able to kill each effect on either side of centre as much as you
want. I have some that had a resistance of 1K on a 47K track pot.

Regards,

I've been looking for vertical mount pots with bush.
Alps (Japan) RK111C114-100K are very nice, they feel solid and are
quite small footprint. Also, the track is CENTRE TAPPED, so you
can do wild things, like choose between 2 different modulation sources,
instead of crossfading between them.  Apparently they are intended for
use
in some particular type of tone control.
Dont know who has these in USA, mine came from the Australian agents at
$1.30 A
or so.
Would be very good for adding to gear, being so small.
