Allen Bradley used to make "Mod Pots". Didn't some one else pick up this
line after they stopped? What value/s do you need? I have some new old
stock.


Please Google for "modular potentiometer" and you'll find that Cermet,
Vishay, Alpha (Taiwan), and probably some others, make them. For
example:

On the other foot, I have had considerable difficulties with such
ganged pots in various pieces of equipment. I have several Radio
Shock scanners with them, that are worn out and have "dead" spots. My
ancient Wavetek 3000B service monitor many of these that are all
intermittent. I've had limited success drilling a tiny hole in the
side, and injecting contact cleaner.
