Subject: More semi-interesting pot news

From: "Paul Schreiber" <synth1@...>

Looking at the Spectrol prices now, Mouser is asking over ∗$7 each∗ for the
148/149 pots! They used to be $3 each. So, what I am will probably do is for
new stuff, switch over to all 'blue Bourns' pots. I can get 100K linear pots
with a 6 week lead time for <$3ea and the min order is 200. This is
perfectly manageable and allows me to keep those big ugly Tyco PKES knobs :)

I can't see anyone in the entire US that stocks 1M log pots in the 91A
series. Sigh.........

I have plenty of the Spectrol pots for the existing kit and assembled
backlog, but looking forward I will have to raise assembled module prices
about $20ea to cover my cost when I have to reorder the Spectrol pots later
this year.

I just ordered more 3.5mm Cliff jacks for Frac and those prices went up 65%
since last spring. Crap............
