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

[mark verbos]

I like these, sadly Mouser has kind of a weird assortment. They only have dual audio taper ones and the linears that are right for me only come with a center detent. I want the linear ones with no detent, but I may have to special order them from ALPS. Unless someone knows a place to get 'em...?
