[sdiy] Alpha pots group buy

[flightofharmony]

They used to a couple years ago.
Specs from their site: Shaft Length: 10mm
That's the knurled portion of the shaft - they measure from the end of the
bushing. Technically, the length of the short ones is 7mm, as they measure
only the knurled part and not the un-knurled 1mm band at the bottom of the
shaft (which is actually the stop for the knob).
I think the factory will use the 7mm ones to flesh out an incomplete order
of the 10mm ones, since a couple are almost always mixed in if you order a
large batch.
