> I am looking for a mail/online source for good quality POTs. You have to know the manufacturer part number, but the following URL is where I got mine from: https://www.alliedelec.com/ For reference I use Clarostat manufacturer part number 'RV4NAYSD 104A' - military spec 'RV4' 100k pots. - George

I called TSW and was told to go to: http://www.mouser.com I didnt think about it at the time, but wonder if I should have bought them from TSW just to support the company. Any how.......... I paid $12.80 each for the Spec pots TSW suggests and uses. Heres the Mouser stk#: 594-15711503 so you can find them easily. BTW these are very nice pots. Aluminum housing, much smaller than "basic" pots, and the housing is fully enclosed and sealed, I can see a bead of hardened goop that seals the housing to the ceramic base. No more of that loose housing, loose wiper = spikey wheel, crappy pots that ruin your racing abilities. If you have any questions about installation email me at: [email hidden] btw these pots are 50k ones. Some wheels use 100k ones, mine did, but its not enough of a difference to matter. TSW suggests the 50k pots, even though mine came w/ 100k. I noticed no difference except in the calib. screen. Good Luck Charlie "George M.
