I don't see the right angles, which is what I need... see here:


anyone? surely *someone* out there knows of an alternative source...

[MarcoMike]

Banzai has "right angle pots"... but there are no pictures of them, so I'm not sure they are what you're looking for...

Hey Brian,

I have not been able to find anything... Mouser has them, but they have even fewer values than SB.

If you find a source that has more values, please let me know... I am definitely interested in getting these for my builds!

Thanks,

Mick

what values does Mouser have? I can't find them there.

also relevant to my interest.

You can just bend the tabs with small pliers on the ones that don't have the right angle...

Word up!

no, they aren't nearly long enough.

How long do you need?

That's a toughie. Unless you are looking for commercial quantities, you need someone like small bear to take the commercial risk for you by buying in large quanitity and stocking for your small orders.

Have you considered making the values you need from large linear value pots?

You could always consider soldering a short length of stiff wire to a standard pot for the same effect. Not quite as fancy, and it requires a bit more work. You could reinforce with a short length of small diameter plastic tubing.

Thats the search for theHoly grail. I've been trying to find a supplier of this type of pot myself but in the UK. It seems even harder to get them, anyone know of a UK supplier ?

Musikding has some of them:

We sell too many quantities to do that - several hundred pedals minimum a month - time is money and it's just not economically feasible to do that. However, I've talked to Steve and also my parts guy has talked to another manufacturer so it looks like we are going to invest some money and buy some large quantities. Double gang pcb mounted is a big need as well...

Right, we do have them in stock now Not in huge quantities yet, but if you need large quantities just write a quick email to Olaf, he's able to tell you wether and if so, in which time we could get them...
