Can any of the members that are US-based point me to a good source for full sized Alpha pots? Not the 16 mm size used in the Korean/Chinese issues, but the full-sized pots. I'm looking for both audio and linear taper. I find a few, but it's slim pickings. We here in the States appear to be "metrically challenged."
Also, I know that CTS offers higher-spec pots - built to tighter tolerances than the "standard" 20% (or more). (Surprisingly, they're more often below-spec than above. Gee, that's a strange statistical quirk. not..) Are there higher-spec, tighter tolerance Alpha pots as well? Built to 5% or 10% tolerance?
I have a couple older Burny LP's that I want to replace 500 k pots in, and the knobs aren't going to work well - if at all - if I enlarge the holes and use CTS pots.
Thanks for any help and insight.
