Source for pan pots?

[sircletus]

Hey, everyone, I'm looking for some high quality mono pan pots with center detent.  Size, in this case, doesn't matter.  Hardy har.  I can order a handful from SSL, but I'm wondering if there are any other options out there.

There are many different types of pan-pots. There are pan-pots that use a single pot and pan-pots that use dual pots.
They can be Linear, Log/RevLog, their value may be from 500 to 22k ohm.
You need to provide context, i.e. the schemo of the circuit.
Most often, pan-pots use dual Lin pots; they are commonly available in all sorts of shape, colour, flavor and odor. DigiKey, Mouser and RS catalogues are full of them.

Yes, I should have been more specific: dual-gang linear.  It's just been generally difficult finding quality dual-gang pots with center detent.  Mouser and Digikey's selections are meager, and generally include switches (unnecessary) and are typically only PCB mount.  Panel mount with solder tabs would be nice for experimentation.  I have a few Bourns (spares from SSL), which are okay, but it would be nice to have other options.

I have tried all the usual outlets and was simply wondering if there are any other smaller under-the-radar suppliers I might have missed.

If you put your location in your profile, it is easier to help you with such geographically sensitive questions..

In germany, e.g., reichelt has Alps  rk27 stereo Lin with center detent.

They ship worlwide.

2 gang center detent pots on mouser, quite a big selection

remember that in some places "center detent"  is called "center ident"

I too am looking for a dual conductive plastic, log/antilog, 10k-50k pot to replace all the older Neotek pan pots. 
The custom route through State and others is nuts expensive, even for a group buy. 
Anyone building a console want to share an order?

I could also use log/antilog pan pots in 10-25k  range

A while ago I contacted Omeg in UK directly, and at that time, they gave me a quote for a relatively small run of dual linear pots (in the 10 - 20) piece range. I've had no end of trouble trying finding suitable 20/22k dual linear pots with solder tags.
