Concentric Pots - was Re: [sdiy] Bad parts!

[Michael Ruberto]

Well it seems like I may yet order these parts from Omeg. Financially 
speaking I'll probably be able to place an order in about 4 weeks. In the 
mean time does anyone else here have an interest in using concentric pots?
If we can order enough we can get the individual price down. Maybe a 
friendly Bloke could handle the business end, it being local and all - hint 
hint...

What I'm needing is 25 or so of the little monsters in the range of 50-100K 
LIN. with the center shaft about half an inch from the panel surface.

Here's the part I recieved the pricing for:
