Guys I've been hunting down a series of pots I can use on some upcoming projects and I can't seem to find it in a suppliers catalog. Here's what I'm looking for.

9mm or 12mm or 16mm Size
1/4" Metal Shaft
Metal Bushing
Vertical Mount PCB - (pins are in line with the shaft)
Preferable a "snap in" mount.
Good selection of, Audio, Linear and ultimately Reverse Audio tapers.

I know that Alps and Alpha make a pot like this, but Mouser doesn't have the values that I need and I can't afford to custom order a group of pots.

Here is the Alpha pot that I've found:

Here are the Alps pots that might work: Series Rk09L and RK117L

Please let me know if you know where I can find the pots that I'm looking for.

Thanks!

I use Omeg pots and bend the pins (can support a lot more weight than the little purpose built ones).

Cheap and cheerful solution. :)
