Hello All,
Does anyone know of a source for these in 1 or 2 quantity, or does
someone have
a used one they will sell?
Thanks,
Dan

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.

Heh. You apparently misunderstand that "pot" (potentiometer) means a
variable resistor with a wiper. The OP is looking for one with a center
tap (a fixed connection to the resistance, not a wiper).

All the ones in my junk box seem to be LOG.

If you only need one, how about adding a centre tap to a regular one?
A little silver paint from the edge of the track to an extra contact
should do the job fine.
