Potentiometer Sourcing?

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.

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...
