I'd prefer pc mount but will take what I can get.
I would also take a linear pot...
I have found 24MM but they just won't fit in the space needed.
I am trying to replace an input pot on a Lexicon LXP-1.
Lexicon were unable to lend any help.
Hoping someone here might know where these are lurking.
I have found lots of things close but not excactly.

Many thanks!!

I've been looking for the same thing for my LXP-5.  I've seen some at Electronics Goldmine

Found them again!

100k+100k seriesed= 50k
  Take yer 100k dual ganged pot from radio shack, and slap a two 100k fixed resistors across each pots lugs 1&3...measure with a DMM and it should read like 50k across itm and give function like 50k pot...I do it all the time it works great.
  Sometimes I put some R value on volume pot to get it working closer to what I want it to range wise. Experiment and theorize R values in different configurations of lugs 1,2,3 and make the pot do more like what you want it to...
Convention creates following, following creates convention.

Thanks Pete. That was my next option. It is a fix for a friend so I was trying to get it as close as possible.
I did find a 24mm but there was no space what so ever for it.
I did find 16mm 100K's and was planning on that next so I am glad I was thinking correctly  :D
But Steve your the freakin man :!:  :!:  :!:
Those are exactly what I needed. Thank you both so very much :!:
Sweet  :D
