[sdiy] Dead Unobtainable Concentric Pot, What to do?

[eidorian at aladan.net]

Maybe a custom manufacture?  What's your budget look like?  :)

Otherwise look for compatible new one-gang pots with good tracks of the
right resistance and and see if you can retrofit them into the pot you
already have?  Might be a lot of work... 

Cheers,
