[sdiy] 47k Log pots

[David G. Dixon]

Paul,

Small Bear Electronics has Alpha pots in the whole range of values
(including 50k audio) in 24 mm solder lug, 16 mm solder lug, or 16 mm with
various styles of pcb mount pins, for $1.25 for 1, $1.00 for 10, etc.  I
just ordered a pile of pots from them, and paid $0.85 each.  You can mix and
match the values for a given pot style and still get the quantity deal.
Here's the link:

pots

Hope this helps.
Dave
