[sdiy] Potentiometer suggestions.

[peff 2cv]

Hi,

I have used Guanghua pots in my projects. Chinese manufactured but they get 
the same raw materials as Alpha from the same sources. We tested extensively 
in our office with no noticible difference between Guanghua and Alpha.

And... I got them for 10 CENTS each!

I bought 1000 (most 10K lin) but also some 100k, 50K, 1M, usual values for 
DIY. Should last a while.

If anyone is interested maybe arrange a group buy on these? Yes, they have 
to be ordered from China but for the price surface shipment is not much 
more.

So for the record, most distributors make a LOT of profit on pots!
