Hi,
The place I was buying my 5 pin potentiometers has run out. I phoned
a couple of places, but they need part numbers (which I don't have and
can't get from the store - they must know that I am outsourcing and
there is nothing listed on the part). When I asked for a 1K
potentiometer with 5 pints on the phone to Mouser and http://www.potentiometers.com
, it was like asking if they had seen a unicorn, so I am wondering if
these are rare. They told me they have lots of 3 pin, but not 5 pin.
Any ideas or places to purchase?
Thanks in advance.
Here is what is the potentiometer looks like:

I know it might not be enough to go on, but maybe someone can point me
in the right direction.
Egad's! a unicorn!
It would help to know what the pins do? That looks like an
inexpensive pot so it probably rules out fancy stuff like sin/cos -
that leaves taps or mounting ears or grounding lugs.
Flip it over?
