Have you tried Radio Shack?
*Radio Shack*? Surely you jest!
Are we even talking about the same store? You know, the ones that *used
to* carry some components, but that nowadays you'd most likely get a
blank stare from the clueless kid behind the counter if you asked for a
"center-tapped pot".
I doubt they ever carried center-tapped pots anyhow.
You need to find a *real* electronics store (they do exist but they're
getting harder and harder to find).
I agree many RS stores have slipped greatly, but I can usually find what I
need at the local one, saving me a rush 25 mile trip to my regular wholesale
house. I think it unlikely RS carried pots that didn't have a variable
wiper, and my local RS has a fair selection of pots.
The topic was pots, not high-quality technical clerks.
