Potentiometer Sourcing?

Looking for a particular component or hardware part and you just cannot find it? Got comoonents surplus and want to get rid of it? Post it all here... No sales of working pedals, put these in the 'Seen for sale' section please.

Is there a good source for various pots for pedals anywhere? Mouser is really hit or miss, mostly miss. Seems most of their pots have too long of a shaft (unless I'm doing something wrong).

Pedalpartsplus has the style etc that I like (prefer PCB right angle mount) but has a limited selection.

Any help is greatly appreciated for low quantity appropriate potentiometers.

This is a very nice place to get your pedal parts :D

I have gotten a lot of good stuff from musikding.de - they're carrying the 16mm alpha pots in a good range of values.
Tayda seems like they've got a lot of that as well, and they're the cheapest place i've seen those alpha pots...
