I have 1/4" jacks with NC switch. Excellent quality. As far as I know,
everyone who has bought some love 'em (in fact, a bunch of people have
ordered second bags).  I ship the day after payment is received. See here:

  As far as pots go, I only have 300K Bourns. They work well in most
applications as subs for 100K pots (voltage dividers for instance). For
other values I buy the generic Mouser pots (I think they're Alphas?). The
price for them seems to increase every other month, though. Jameco sells
them for cheaper than Mouser and they have "valuepro" Alpha copies. I can't
say if the "valuepro" are any good or not since I don't have any that have
been in use for more than a year or so.

 I have other parts, too (trimmers, resistors, caps,handful of 566 vco
chips).

Here's my main page:
