stephen	Re: Bourns pots My guess is that Bourns _do_ make these small square pots with panel bush and 1/4 in shaft...and in 250k and 1M LOG versions....but Mouser only stocks a few of the hundreds of possible 'mod-pot' combinations. I have an ad pulled from an old Oz magazine which offers the no-shaft trimmer-pot versions in both log and lin. Perhaps one of you guys in the US would check with Bourns and report back.....Some useful bits of information would be - 1/The Bourns code numbers for 250k, 500k and 1Meg LOG mod-pots with threaded panel bush and 1/4 in. (metal?)shaft. 2/Are they available with thicker/stiffer wire terminals for hard-wiring, and what's the code suffix for this. 3/ Does Bourns supply small quantities direct, (without a cost penalty)...or which of their distributors actually stocks (say) 1Meg, log, panel-mount with 1/4 in shaft? - Stephen
