Are the two pots both the same value?  If so, they'd be useless for coarse/fine tune, wouldn't they?  I assume you'd want a 100k plus a 10k or 1k, and wire them in series, no?

Actually, I'd like the "push-pull" style pots even better:

...assuming this is what I think it is: push or pull the knob to activate the second pot. This way, you'd only need one knob.  On the downside, the pot indicator (dot or line or whatever) would become meaningless, so you'd have to use "blank" knobs.  But only ONE knob for each pot!  And for the fumble-fingered among us, it's easier to use than the concentric type.

I could live with the blank knob problem.  I'd typically use this for coarse/fine tune (either on a VCO or a sequencer), and I set these by ear, so I don't really care where the knob points.

If nobody knows the answers about these, maybe I'll pick up a couple and play around with them.  Although they do say "available soon..."

If we did a group buy on custom concentric or push-pull pots, would everyone want both pots the same value, or some kind of 100k/10k or 100k/1k thing?

Hmm Good price doesn't say whether they are linear or log taper.
