[sdiy] Alpha Pots

[Trevor Page]

ESR are really good, by the way. I've always used them myself when I've
needed those little Alpha pots with splined shafts - I used these on the
9090. ESR send stuff out really quickly and accept really titchy orders
on plastic.

Yeah, I know what you mean, splined shafts seem to be really 'passe' (no
idea how to get the accent...), which is odd, because one look at, say,
Radio Spares or Farnell's catalogue, and probably 80% of the knobs will
be for splined shafts. Bizarre. After some hours trawling, I found:

www.esr.co.uk

Not ordered any myself yet, but they do have them in their catalogue!
