Jameco has much the same issue as Mouser, their pots have detents, but there
are some usefull ones there without detends, but all linear. *sigh*

Best bet for a full variety of usefull Alpha pots is smallbearelec.com, he
has quite a variety and good pricing.

Another option for Fracrak is to follow Blacet's lead on making your panels
and use T6061 .063" unstead of 5051 .125" like Paia uses stock, then the
Panasonic parts fit wonderfully.
