Alpha Right-Angle PCB Mounted Pots

My only source for these Alpha pots is Small Bear Electronics but they are out of stock on the A100K that I need until October. So I'm looking for a steady source to get both of these 100K and 500K Alpha right-angle mount PCB pots for my 'gray spec' DOD 250 Overdrive clone circuit board that I etched. Does anyone else sell these two part numbers?

Contact them to be sure they are in stock,
they're is no stock on line so to avoid backordered parts and waiting
is preferable.

Thanks a bunch Mich P. and Andersom. I'm in the USA so not sure how overseas shipping would work with the cost and that 19% VAT tax ouch!

I have an workaround solution. A moderator from BYOC suggested doing this:

That might not be a bad alternative. I think this will be an excellent alternative and thanked him. For replacement pots to solder legs to like in the photo above, I think these will do from PPP:

(7501) Alpha Single-Gang Audio Taper 16mm A100K Potentiometer

Over the past few days I made an email inquiry Pedal Parts Plus to see if they could stock some additional parts because Small Bear Electronics was temporaily out of stock on Alpha angle mount pots I needed and wouldn't get anymore in until October. I also provided my parts list to PPP as reference to see what they can do. I just hate being dependant on a sole source for special items. PPP emailed me and they are now going to start stocking those same Alpha pots that I need too! They should start getting these in about 6 weeks and will keep them in stock. So now there will be 2 sources (Pedal Parts Plus and Small Bear Electronics) for these pots in the USA.

Does Mouser stock any of the 16mm alpha pots that PPP or Small Bear stock?

I checked, Mouser doesn't have the exact same part number prefix RV16AF-41-15R1-[value]
