Subject: Pots with solder lugs

From: "John Loffink" <jloffink@...>

While we're on the subject of pots, does anyone know a source for conductive
plastic or cermet pots with solder lugs rather than PCB leads. I have been
increasingly uncomfortable with DIY projects where fragile leads meant for
PCB mounting are secured with only a bit of heatshrink tubing. I cannot
find a Spectrol pot with solder lugs, and I believe the Bourns pots are only
available in linear taper. All other solder lug type pots I've seen are
carbon composition or expensive, $10-$15+.
