I have a TSW stock wheel and the pots are starting to go "south" I'd
like to get something locally, what should I be looking for ??? I'm
using the game port on my soundblaster Live if that makes any
difference. I guess what I'm asking for are resistances and if one
type might last longer, give better control (GPL of course) etc.
Thanks

A 100k linear pot. Emphasis on the LINEAR otherwise it will never
calibrate properly.

and tell him any specifics about your wheel (e.g., when you received
it, etc.) so that he can ensure you get pots that fit your steering
shaft. They're probably 1/4" diameter pots, but again, it wouldn't
hurt to give him a quick email. I've found he replies very quickly.
The Thomas prices might be a little higher than what you might be able
to find locally, but IMO getting them from Thomas was worth the extra
money because I knew they'd work; the instructions for the wheel unit
pot replacement were helpful for me (I'd never replaced those before);
and it saved me the time that would be spent trying to find the right
stuff locally (and not being completely sure if I'd be getting parts
that worked).
