Pot debate...

2008-12-07 by clickmrmike

No, I'm not interested in discussing the (de)merits of taking up
recreational smoking, I'm trying to find a reasonable substitute for
Spectrol pots.  The prices on these in small quantities has gone out
of range ($11 - ow!).  The 248 series is not all that much cheaper and
tough to get in some values. 
The  Bourns 91/95 series are nice,  but still >$7.

Does anybody have a suggestion for a pot that:
1) has the same PCB footprint/pin spacing as the Spectrol
2) has a reasonable price (<$4))
3) has a similar rotation to the Spectrol (265 degrees)
4) isn't utter crap

I'll start hunting, but if someone has solved this problem already,
I'd appreciate a tip.
