European source for 25k Rheostat pots ?

[Krinor]

Does anyone know if there is a European source for 25k Rheostat pots ?
It seems like Radioshack does not handle foreign orders (?)

Thanks.
They've got one allright, but they charge £33 for it!
I was planning to build a Little Gem amp. Maybe I can use an ordinary pot instead ?

Hi Kristian

I just checked the schematic at ROG, the little gem uses a 25 ohm rheostat not 25K.

I was lucky to get one in my local electronics store, and it was quite expensive compared to an ordinary pot. I'm using it as a master volume for a Ruby amp.

Someone posted an alternative method for a master volume using a normal pot instead of the 25 Ohm rheostat. I think it was Poul Perry, but I'm not sure. The seach function doesn't seem to work right now.

Hello Carsten,

My mistake. Of course I mean 25 Ohm.
