Wow,
I believe I got cheaper price quotes from State Electronics a few years ago and again more recently MegOhm in UK.
MegOhm pricing was around 4 pounds for a 50 piece quantity, although they offer a ten piece minimum at almost twice the price still not too bad by comparison. State on the other hand had a huge minimum $ amount but were serious mil-spec pots Made in USA. State quotes I'd need to dig a bit to find.
For knobs I am hoping to try out a scheme for boring-direct through cosmo knobs and installing a hollow shaft insert to grip the smaller inner 1/8th" shaft for the upper-inner control.

In retrospect I suppose I should have asked around first and placed an order on a group-buy basis.
I'm only having 16 of the pots made and I am embarrassed to admit what they are costing me (not quite $25, but not much better).
The knobs I am getting will be Sifam knobs. I will try and choose the closest match to the knobs on the rest of the existing modular.
If people really are interested I could organise another batch to be made, the more people are interested the cheaper they will be I guess.
