Default Re: Here's why can't you find a modern 250K or 500k potentiometer.

Definitely not looking in the right places - 2 mins with Google found many (big and small) suppliers of pots in those values in all sorts of shaft configurations including dual ganged pots and even some with switches.

These are new stock, not NOS or any other abbreviation thought to mean "old no longer produced items".
Thanks for reading the thread Terry and for your response.

As I said, this thread was prompted by the OP in the KB MR10 thread who had a need for a 250K linear pot with a dual gang mains switch. If you can point to the right place to look for an off-the-shelf new production (not NOS) pot which meet that spec it would be most helpful. Even better if it has a 1/4" (not 6mm) D-shaped metal shaft.
