G'Day all. I'm trying to locate some 10k slide potentiometers. DS, Jaycar, altronics don't sell them anymore. Farnell sells them for about $7-00 each. (Is that the going rate, or can I get better. I need 8. Thanks in advance. Rob Melbourne.

They in rotary pots section but looks like they are sliding pots, $1.60 each but might take a while to get here.

** A few useful slide pots there for low prices.
Note:
Rockby have not specific the "travel" distance the standard way. Instead of the actual distance it moves, they seem to have measured the length of the slot in the top.
Eg: 55mm travel is really 50mm & 114mm travel is really 100mm - ie the industry standard sizes.

I didn't know that. Thanks for the info!
RS also can supply. If you can't get them anywhere else, $7 is a bargain. I paid over $20 last time, but that was a good quality ALPS.

Thanks to all who replied. Regarding Futurlec, I wish I knew about the sliders in the roatry section. I have an order currently with them (2weeks ago and still waiting). Thanks again. Rob.
Too Bad. I just unloaded a bunch of Penny+Giles 10K long throw faders. Missed out by about 2 weeks!
