Concentric shaft and illuminated slide pots (WAS: RE: [sdiy] Alpha pots group buy)

[Kyle Stephens]

I've been wondering this myself, though I wouldn't mind some more diverse values - I've a little pile of concentric knobs I won't be using otherwise (...except maybe as individual 1/4" and 1/8" shaft knobs, but that'd kinda be a waste).

Guitar part shops sell replacement hardware for axes that include concentric pots, but they're pretty obscenely priced (as much as $30 or more...for just one pot, with knobs *maybe*). This is at least what I've found on eBay and Google Shopping.

This is the cheapest I've found so far ($3.99), though I dunno the value:

Good luck otherwise (dunno about the illuminated slide pots).
