Hi All,
Is there any requirements of quality for the pots ?
Because difference in price is sometimes really huge…
I will probalby order the parts for my m/b here:
And there are economic pots twice cheaper than RADIOHM ones… But there are not so much information about the differences between these two types of pots..
Can someone told me if I can use the cheaper ones?
Thanks in advance

Hey Xan…
I think quality matters more when u use pots in audio applications - for data apps (which is what midi is afterall), quality isn’t so important - i assume…
I picked up 100 x 10k lin pots of ebay for around £6!, the fella appears to be still selling them too as I recently got another 100! 
Peace
Dan
thx for the info d2k…
£6 for 100 !!! Waaaawww, that’s what I call a good price !!! :o :
I have asked the guy at gotronics.fr what price he can do for an order of 64 eco pots and he will make the eco pot for 0.38Eur… I think I will take a look first on eBay…

There u go, he’s still selling them!
Buy it now price is 8EU…
Only thing is - they are pcb mount - however, in one MB box i done, i just glued them to the panel with araldite ;p and they’ve held fine so far ;), for my next MB i’ve done some brds for the pots which is a lot easier than having to solder from pot to pot!
Best

Thx for the link…
I have send a mail to the guy to have transaction details because I don’t understand a word on the page - I cannot read or speak german, english is already difficult enough

Xan, sorry, didn’t want to fish in your pond.
Check your email, I’ll make it up.
