where can I get a 150k linear taper pot for the attack knob on a ross compressor?  I don't think keeley sales them anymore.

Get a 250k pot and stick a 330k fixed resistor in parallel.  That will give a resistance range of 0-142k.  Close enough.

Quite frankly, though, most ears will not be able to tell the difference between many of the different settings possible with a continuous control.  For my part, I don't see much point in doing more than creating a slow, medium, fast option with a toggle, but that's me.
