Hi Paul and All....

Bummer

Farnell Have them (all prices in Australian dollars)
10K, 20k, 100k  Linear, Log .... 5k reverse log.

			Quantity:
			1			10			100			250
Price		2.86		2.70		2.43		2.27

And the dual units are only slightly more.

And the non bush monting (with collar)
Price		1.47		1.38		1.23		1.17

I'd like to find a cheaper supplier than Farnell but most places only take
orders >1000 pieces

>and They have a 6mm shaft
>>that's hard to find nice knobs for. 
>....In Australia, Altronics have some nice ones.

I'll have to check that out.
