Alpha pot

Post by sasha »

hi there,

i'm looking for a push-pull pot like this one - http://eu.mouser.com/Search/ProductDeta ... 1601F-100K but can't seem to locate an alternative supplier. i get a ridiculous quote of $120 to have a quantity of 3-4 shipped to me (they ship only by FedEx, UPS and such). so, i thought i'd ask you guys if you have an idea where one could order a couple of pieces... i'm doing some mods on my mesa 20/20 poweramp and apparently these fit the board nicely without any modifications.

thanx

Torres sells them too. Not sure what shipping would cost.

thanx for the suggestion, unfortunately they don't have my country listed on their shipping info form. i dropped them an e-mail... in the meantime, if any of you have some more ideas, i'm all ears, thank you very much :)

I went to the USPS web site to see what the cost would be to ship a small box to Croatia, and it appears that it would cost about $14

Perhaps you can suggest this to Torres since he is a smaller vendor, he should be able to accomodate.

There are a bunch of guys selling this DPDT switched pot on ebay. You might get better international shipping in an envelope or find some available closer to you goegraphically.

Does anyone know where to find a larger type 24mm size 3/8" mounting hole switching pull pot? It doesn't necessarily have to be DPDT.

This vendor is located in Germany, so you should get good shipping costs. I've ordered from them several times. Quick delivery and no problems.

Try them all and see whose got the most honest shipping. You can talk to AES about shipping options, email them. Ask them to just wrap them in bubble wrap and stick in a small Jiffy envelop and ship US Postal. Should be about $5 max.
