So, just like the surplus jacks I asked about the other day, I used to be able to find little alpha potentiometers for about $.50 each at a couple of different surplus stores.  Both seem to be out.  It's been a couple of years, so I guess prices have risen a little, but just like the jacks, the best price I can find now is several times what I was paying.

One of the better selections of Alpha pots available and prices drop
