[sdiy] US source for center-tapped pots?

Hi Everyone,

The filter envelope level pot on my Crumar Spirit has finally croaked... so 
I'm looking for a replacement.

It's a 24mm panel mount pot, 1/4" diameter round shaft, 100K linear taper 
with center tap.  The problem is the shaft needs to be relatively long - 
about 1.25" beyond the bushing.   Center detent is preferred, but not 
crucial.

I bought a bunch of 50K Alphas from a listmember last year, and I was able 
to kludge one in for the moment, but the shaft is only about half the length 
really needed.

Anyone have a US source (or a spare one lying around)?  I checked Mouser, 
Digikey and Small Bear and didn't see anything.

I could also get by with a D-shaft or splined shaft if needed... and I could 
probably use anything in the 50K to 250K range as well...

Thanks,
Dave Magnuson
