To expand on Paul's answer:

You would use a cermet pot (149) in your coarse and fine tuning VCO 
controls (if you want it as stable as possible, that is).

----------------------------------
Several reasons:

a) the Spectrol are available in cermet (149 series). These are more
temperature stable than
conductive plastic. Also, when I was first looking at pot choices, 
Bourns were
custom ordered
(still are!) with a staggering 18 WEEKs lead time (shortened to 14 
now).

b) The Spectrol pots I could order from Mouser in small quantities.
