The Original Moog 921A used 25K Allen Bradley pots
like the following equivalent at 100Kohms:

Precision Electronic Components Ltd

They are $8.99CAD at Digikey (not bad).

Were these type of potentiometers reliable
temperature  and lifecycle wise ?
Any Moog modular 921A-B VCO's users ?

I'd probably pickup some because of their
mechanical rotary 314deg and sturdiness.
But I want to make sure they are a good choice again today..
