I'm doing a design using eight 9mm Alpha pots arranged in a row along an enclosure that is 4.7" (120mm) wide.  I need some really small (about 10mm) knobs along the lines of what Zvex uses in his Seek pedals. I've also got a Behringer mixer with different but very small knobs. Any suggestions for a source/supplier.

the seek pedals use pots that have an integrated knob.  i bought one from mouser to see if i could use it eventually.  the "knob/shaft" is actually a little smaller than your average pot shaft.

No, that's not a problem, I don't mind ordering from the US. Just might be easier in UK/Europe. I didn't mean to sound ungrateful.   :icon_biggrin:
