[sdiy] Source for center tapped pots? Anyone?

[Paul Higgins]

I saw that  item on Geofex myself some time ago--actually, I think I 
cloned that page from RG's site.  There's definitely a way to make your 
own "center-tapped" pot by removing the back cover of the pot and 
getting a little bit creative with that silver conductive epoxy stuff.  
I know it's also possible to make your own reverse audio taper pots, 
log/antilog dual pots, etc. in the same sort of way.

I'd also recommend the "Satellite City" cyanoacrylate (super glue) 
products, and the catalyst/hardener spray that they make.  That product 
line has really revolutionized the way I work (it's amazing what you 
can do when you can get super glue to harden, water-clear, in a 
fraction of a second.  Custom homemade Vactrols, anyone?).  You can 
find those products at any good woodworking store, and I think at 
hobby/model shops too.
