I had seen these at Antique Electronic Supply, but I don't think they have them anymore. Honestly, $12 isn't a bad price for a guitar pot with a switch on it. It's not cheap, but it's not a rip-off price either.

May I steer you away from these pots? I've got one in my strat that's been terrible since shortly after installation. It's almost permanently in the out position; the retaining catch inside has worn out or something. I recommend a push-pull instead - seems to me there's less to go wrong.

:hmmm:

Could you use a push push to save space in a 1590A enclosure though?

I thought they were called push pull pots... :scratch: You cannot push them twice, have to pull again first hence...

The problem on stompboxes is that it's hard to keep the exact setting on the knob while pulling/pushing it. It takes up more space than a simple pot + mini toggle IMHO...

I have a Yamaha RGX from the late 80's that has a push-push for coil tap.
