Pots in the UK?

[Jim50hertz]

I've searched Farnell/RS and others but can't track down all the right values for my projects....

I'm doing the G9, GSSL Comp, G1176 and a couple of Whats..

is there a distributor who'll carry all the correct values in the UK for a one stop shop?

Cheers

Jim

Difficult
I pick them up as I go along

Electrovalue and ESR do Omeg pots - but carbon versions only
Farnell and RS do bit'n'bobs but the postage kills you
If you want 10 of each - sometimes just go direct to Omeg, speak to Margaret, and she will send you some (thus you can get the plastic stuff)
You could always try mainline surplus - they have loads of different carbon ones
the 1176 4m7 pot can be got from electrovalue

And there's always ebay
Some guy regularily sells Bourns 91 series 16mm pots 25k linear (I think) - plastic ones for a tenner for 10 (conductive plastic) (£3.80 +VAT from RS - keep an eye out - there are none there but he keeps putting more on every week or so)
There is another guy 6k8 who sells bourns stuff - but these are ex-MOD and they have packaged dates from 1967 to the early 1980s
For trimemr pots - another guy on ebay sells the 3386 stuff (or somethign like that) - looks very good value (I have a load)

Thanks again UK, I think i'm gonna go with the call to omeg and buy direct, that way i'm hoping i'll be able to get all the values i need in a one'er.

cheers
