Hi,
The Vishay from mouser is a Linear pot. For he volume pots in the mixer you will need Log Audio Pots and it was hard for me to find a dual ganged conductive plastic pot which I did att RS online.
Another reason I choose the Vishay pot is because its quite small and the space on the back plate on the front panel is quite narrow. Of course you could cut of some of the metal if you need more space. I think the Alpha you found is a bit big in size and you shouldnt go bigger than a 16mm if you want to fit it without modding the backplate.
For the pan pots you will need Linear pots.
I found these for the Pan which Im thinking about getting as they are center detended. The are dual ganged but I suppose you could just use 1 gang and ignore the other one.

At the moment in my mixer I have Alpha 16mm which works fine.
The 16mm Alpha are quite cheap and has a really well known feel.

I`ve found these aswell:

Ninuz found and purchased these:

I`m guessing those are the only conductive plastic types so far? Probably the tightest tolerance?
I looked into these and I wanted to know what would be the difference/benefits between the dual 1k alpha-twain that I found in mouser and the Vishay pots fragletrollet mentioned that Ninuz found. From my very poor knowledge the differences that I can see are conductive plastic vs carbon, Linear vs Audio Taper and price difference ($25.37 for the Vishay and $3.19 for the Alpha [tawain]). I guess my question would be which one is better for this project?
Thanks
