[time-nuts] Bourns for fine frequency tuning

Hi everyone, I need your help to find a particular Bourns potentiometer that many frequency standard company use for frequency fine tuning in their oscillators. In my experience, both HP in 107BR and Frequency Electronics in the AN URQ-23 use this potentiometer which has a value of 100k

Luciano A suggestion. When you obtain the new pots at least obtain some high temperature epoxy and fix the problem ahead of time. A small amount should help. This may be difficult but I also find calling helps get samples. Though today the chance of someone picking up a phone seems to be negative.
