Question for UK members

[Travis]

Hey guys (mates :P), as you may have noticed I have a bit of a "fetish" for your fancy UK-made components. Do any of you folks know where I can find these 20MM Omeg pots with solder lug terminals? I think Ampmaker has them but they're £5 each. Looks like Rapid only has PCB mount pins

I don't know where you can get them, but if you find some I'll be happy to get them for you and ship them if it'll work out cheaper for you that way.

There's a list of suppliers on the Omeg site  http://www.omeg.co.uk/contacts.htm#worldwide

There is one in the US and 3 in the UK.  I'm happy to call omeg and / or the suppliers to see if they can get their hands on them.

What values and quantities are you after??

I'm guessing that this is thesort of thing you are after

Thanks PMowdes and Mark! You guys are so nice! Likewise, let me know if you need help with any US goodies :P

I did see the list of suppliers but I just double checked the US and UK suppliers and they don't have the ones I'm after (I just haaave to want the hardest to find part)

The one in your link is the one I'm after, thanks PMowdes. Now I have a part number that I can google, though I may need to buy direct.

I'm mostly after 100K lin, 1K lin, and 470K lin, I'm not sure how many yet because that depends on the price for me. I think they may have a minimum order quantity for buying direct. I'll have to look into it

Thanks again!

So I gave them a call and I'm  going to get an email quote for the values you mentioned.  

Min order is 10 units and £25

The sales lady also mentioned that in the US their pots are sold under the TE connectivity brand which I think Mouser stock.

I'll bung the email up here once it arrives.
