Re: cheap 5K linear pots found!

Good question. One problem with pots is they wear out. The ones that Atari
and others used (Allen Bradley) are special high use pots. These ARE more
expensive than ones you can pick up at regular suppliers. I have tried
inexpensive linear pots in the past and they last perhaps a small fraction
of the time that an Allen Bradley pot in the same application. The AB pots
have special construction to allow them to be used constantly.
