anyone? i need them for a sequencer :)

i even mailed zack this afternoon but no reply so far.. :D
I really don't like this supplier, but they have them.

Smalbear has 9mm pots. They work well for the "Dig Dug" seek wah clone. I DID have to modify the pot circuit board to all a bit more space so I could use the knobs.

Aren't those one's ZVex uses actually heavy duty trimpots?
Zvex uses the black ones that you can find in my link.
so what's wrong with banzaimusic?
My last order from Banzai came in 3 seperate batches and took 8 weeks to complete. That was a year ago, haven't used them since.
well and it took them about 20 days to ship my package putting me in the Xmas period which made the package to arrive in 1 and half month.. but it wasn't that bad. everything came in it's place, nothing was missing, everything was in one box and also the shipping to my country takes long anyways.
anyways for you, guys in America and whatnot, there are better suppliers but i've noticed Banzai has got a huge bunch of parts that are otherwise hard to get?
Mouser 317-2080F (http://www.mouser.com/Search/Refine.aspx?Keyword=317-2080F)
Boom.
That is the horizontal mount version, there is the vertical mount as well. The pins fit in 100 mil spaced perfboard, and so do the big metal solder tabs, if you drill out the perf hole they would go into bigger.

Forgot to take a picture of the insides, but this one used the vertical mount ones, and the circuit board is just kind of squeezed in there, vertically.
I like Banzai! Of course they are based in Germany so I guess they ship faster to Europe.
I live in Belgium, which is right next to Germany and still it took them over 2 months on more than half my orders with them. Once I had to wait for 5 months for a 9mm alpha pot.
They may advertise a lot of stuff on their site, but they sure don't have it all in stock.
Plus they screw you with their shipping cost. Musikding is much better as far as I am concerned.
musikding have nice trimpots that they offer 'knob' sticks for.
banzai were pretty good for me!..UK. :)
what do the pot/led combo do exactly...fade when turned down etc.???
^ I think that it's some sort of sequencer, and the LEDs indicate the current step.
^ahhh i see, ;)
so.. theyre just 9mm pots? looks much smaller on the picture and seekwah..
thanks guys!!.. oh and about banzai: I order there sometimes, because they have discount and more choice in the ' looks' part of my designs then the local places.
i have good and bad experience ranging from two weeks to 4 months orders with 4 different shippings.. currently waiting for 4 knobs backorder.. since february this year :(
zack just replied via email.. they use alpha pots (9mm ones)
Yup, they're Alpha pots. I got mine from Mouser. Part # 317-2090F-100K (for 100k pots). I'm using them for my seek wah clone as well. See my new front panel:
