[AMRadio] Hardware for potentiometer
Ok so I found myself with out enough hardware. I have a 100K dual audio taper pot from Radio Shack and I lost the nut. It is one for mounting in a 5/16 hole so I assume it is a 5/16 treaded sleeve with a 1/4 inch shaft but I can't find any hardware for it. Now I could just go buy another pot with hardware but after looking I find that I have other pots with no hardware and some of them are the same sleeve. I have hardware for the bigger pots. I guess you might say the standards. Searching Google comes up with no hardware except for at Electronic Goldmine, where I bough a bunch that are to large. Who makes this stuff, some far east company, and they secretly ship them to Switchcraft and other manufactures of potentiometers. John, WA5BXO

Hi John, Check out McMaster-Carr, www.mcmaster.com - you can't believe their stock and selection. Bacon, WA3WDR - Original Message - From: John E.

RE: [AMRadio] Hardware for potentiometer
Maybe I could manufacture nuts for pots, and those hard to find fixed carbon 4 watt resistors, and sell homemade jam on the side. Probably do about as well as I do now! If I could get folks to return the jars from the jam then I would not need transportation fuel to purchase new ones.

RE: [AMRadio] Hardware for potentiometer
I knew a guy many years ago that produced pot for nuts. I think that's different. This was back in the day when HLR and EKV would be on 3885 and right after they signed you'd hear Led Zeppelin come blasting throuh the radio. 73, Mark W1EOF WN1PWA/WA1PWA at the time. -Original Message- From: John E.
