Mouser 313-1400F-100K

The feel is good.  The nut is crap - lots of slop.  The threads are 
cut square on the bushing so the nut only grips on 4 sides.  They 
will fit through the 1/8" panel with a lock washer on the back - but 
just barely.  On one I had to leave the front washer off so I could 
grip enough of the threads.  That's one of the reasons I used the 
perf board on all the pins so it would help secure them.  The pins 
are very thin and not on 0.100 centers.  I have not found a data 
sheet so have no dimensions (so I could buy new nuts).

The front of the shaft has a screwdriver "indent" which is kind of a 
bummer since that's what is visible as the light pipe.  I really 
would like to find some nice red inserts that would fit into the 
hole in the end of my knobs.  Maybe someday I will run across some.  
The shafts are probably just a bit long and could be cut down (or 
ground down).  That would eliminate the screwdriver indent but I 
wasn't brave enough to try this on these potentiometers.
