[sdiy] Vertical PCB Mount Pots (With panel mount)... Any options?!

[Stewart Pye]

Hi Mike,

I've used the ALPS RK09L series that have a metal 6mm shaft and mounting 
bush. I had to special order the value/shaft length I wanted from the 
local (Australian) distributor. As Tom said finding decent 6mm D knobs 
can be a problem.

Mouser have some of the RK09L in stock, along with a bunch of other 
vertical mount pots.

Regards,
Stewart.
