I'm just not sure the Harman pots are true linear,I wish I would have written it down,some years ago,as you know,cannot measure it "in curcuit".If Brunners was still around,he would tell us.But,the ebay thing bugs me,these cost 19 to 39 cents to make.
 
only othe style the could use is logarithmic and i dont know why the would use a ramp in and out. most that i have bought for other projects have been in that price range. some they use for high end volume contols are still only 2-3 bucks a piece. yes it bugs me too big time!!

Well,there are linear,with dropouts,linear with an open,linears that drop off at each end,etc,there are many custom styles,LOL.I will remove one and measure,then we shall know.Not tonight,too lazy,board is laying on counter,will take upstairs to soldering station and do,perhaps tomorrow.

Yep,I ran into the same.That design is going away,because of the size.Back when I changed mine out,on my Austroflamm,I installed high quality pots,metal cans,shafts attached,drilled holes in the mounting,so board does not need removed to adjust.Might try Asia next.
 
Am I beating a dead dog chasing this down? i do have a alibaba account. but man the terriffs are stupid

Ya,do not know how much longer I will work it,but on snowy cold days gives me something to do.Sad part is,about 2.5 years ago,was a whole box of them,on ebay(well,the cheap blue ones),for something like 40 bucks,and I did not buy them,lol was like 2k of them.
 
Oh,in my internet travels,I found the cheap blue ones(ACP) special order,in India(you really did not think Spain makes them?lol),1000,minimum,10 cents a piece.
 
No i knew they weren’t made there. But its an identifier for tracking down. I sent an Email to Leo Zou, Changzhou Kennon Electronics Co

Cool.I would buy part of a batch,from you,just to help out people.
 
the guy on ebay thats selling the “red” pots is a satalite sales for a large international trading co so that explains how they can do the big dollar buys.
