Hello, I am looking for good quality, reasonably priced potentiometers for my
homemade steering/pedal system.  The $1.49 pots that I currently purchase
from Radio Shack are wearing out after about a month of hard racin!  Thomas
Enterprise has pots but they seem expensive.  I figure I could save some
money buying them directly from a manufacture or through a distributor.  Any
recommendations for a good source of 100k ohms linear pots would be greatly
appreciated.  Thanks for your help!

I have had great success using the Digikey pots in my TSW2. The ones I got
are 100k pots.
The p/n is RV4NAYSJ104A
You can order them direct from Digikey at http://www.digikey.com/
They'll run ya about 5.50 a pot.
