Does a dual reverse taper pot actually exist as specified on the Univibe part list here:

Or is RG just playing some kind of cruel game with us?  The Mouser part number is for a regular audio taper pot.

On the other hand, does it really matter if it is reverse audio or regular audio?  Am I right in my understanding that a reverse audio pot wired "backwards" would give the highest speed fully clockwise?  And so the regular audio taper wired according to the diagram would give the highest speed fully counter clockwise?  I can live with that.

Finally, does Mouser stock any reverse audio taper pots?  Do they have some kind of special code name for them?  I don't mind buying them from smallbear, but if I don't have a big enough order to reach his minimum it would be nice to be able to get them from Mouser.

You can buy dual 100K reverse log pots at smallbear


www.smallbearelec.com


or you could wire a dual 100K log pot backwards.


or you could buy a dual 500k linear pot and use tapering resistors to make it 100K reverse log.


your decision, personally I would go with smallbear.

I get especially blind when I'm looking for specific things.  

Thanks.
