Jeff L, Scott J - I entirely concur regarding the vertical rather than horizontal band orientation. Here is a revision:

A fancy version would be to use Bourns 51ABD-B28-B15/B15L, or similar. I found some at Newark.
I assume they make dual gang Faders too. How do they attach to a panel? Would they require some kind of special bracket? I've seen them in Dad's mixers, but not anywhere else.
Point me in a direction here, I'll do some research.
