[sdiy] Looking for ALPS motorized potentiometers

[Daniel Araya]

I'm looking for a small quantity of motorized ALPS pots, model RK25T
(http://www3.alps.co.jp/WebObjects/catalog.woa/PDF/E/Potentiometer/MetalShaft/RMP_RK16/RMP_RK16.PDF)

I contaced my local ALPS distributor and they told me minimum quantity
was a pack of 210  with a price of about $11 a piece!
A bit expensive for some experimentation... :)

Do anyne have a clue where to get a small quantity (5-10) of these? I
dont even know of any equipment that contains these, they are the fast
type, not the ones used in hifi amplifiers. Maybe some high-end mixing
consoes?
