24mm C-taper pots?

[willienillie]

Anybody got a source for full size reverse audio/anti-log pots?  Alpha, CTS, Bourns, whatever.  I can only find a few values, but looking for 1K and maybe 500K.  1/4" solid shaft preferably.

Why so specific? Unless you're repairing an old unit with these pots, I would just use the 16mm ones since they are easily available.

Precision Electronics (PEC) make both values, Digikey stock the 1K but not the 500K. You get what you pay for...

Wow shipping to the US is massive.

Dave's second link is for a 16mm pot.  If that's acceptable, then try Tayda.  They have a C500K for 50c.  If you have other stuff to buy, it could be worth a punt.  And if you're really lucky, yesterday's discount code ("Sale15") might still work.

Product description on the linked page has it at 24mm. Being Alpha you'd think there'd be someone in the US that stocks them.

My bad.  Sorry Dave, really early post and no coffee.    And apparently no glasses either!

No worries Marc, my only coffee's after dinner so i fumble through most of the day, glasses go on immediately upon rising or i'd have no hope.
