[sdiy] Concentric Pots

[Theo]

No doubt consumer electronics where the big marked for these,
but concentric pots are still used on test & measurement equipment among
others.
There are 4 of them on my brand new scope.

Rean manufactures several series of knobs suitable for concentric pots.
These seem to be resent models, not NOS.
Also except from the minimum order quantity (when I checked 250), getting
the knobs is no problem.
However I still don't know where to go for the pots either.
