I wonder why the guy on the phone didn't seem to be able to help me
out at Mouser? Oh well, this is a start. How can I tell if they are
threaded? I wish I could send the picture that I have to Mouser and
see if they have something that matches up closely. The thread and
post is important too now that I think about it.


In fact, I just went and did this. Mouser have 311-1600-1k at $0.97 which
fits the bill, and Digikey have CT2224-ND at $3.48. Rather more expensive,
but rather a better (constructed and rated) pot ...

I'm sure a few minutes spent making friends with Google, would turn up
many
more examples.

I'm too introverted to have friends...

Possibly, the words that you were using to describe what you wanted, just
didn't 'resonate' with the guy. Or he was just a kid hired to field phone
calls. Are you familiar at all with speccing and buying electronic
components ? From the original thread, and now this new one, I rather
suspect not.

You need to learn to use an online catalogue. Both of those parts that I
pointed you to, have internal links attached to their basic catalogue entry,
which take you to the manufacturer's spec sheets for them. These tell you
everything, both electrically and mechanically, that characterise the
device. This is common with electronic component catalogues.

I don't mean to be rude, but the amount of help that you have received so
far on this project from many people on this group, has been staggering,
considering that it was more of a basic electronics design question
originally, than a "repair" one (check the name of this group ... ) If you
genuinely don't understand about speccing and ordering components, then i'm
sure most of us don't mind helping you out a little, but be careful that you
don't get us to thinking that you just can't be bothered to work it out for
yourself ...
