50K lin pot + pull switch?ssl clone

hmm

i would like to make the gain reduction meter
on my ssl clone switchable between 10db/20db

but I don´t want to add a new switch to my frontplate!!

it would be great to use one of those pots that have an
additional pull/push switch (like some knobs on ssl desks (aux sends??)

so when the switch is pushed the scale shows gain reduction up to 10dB (which is enough for most buss compression i do!)

but when I want to drive it harder i just pull the knob and the meter
switches to the 20dB scale



I just want to see the needle of my EXPENSIVE sifam meter
do some work for its money



can i get those pots somewhere from the shelf or are they custom made???
whre can i get those?

The typical 16mm Xicor / Alpha pot stuff, but with a 2p2t pull switch.
