[Heathkit] Off Topic Help re: volume on/off pot for HTX-100

[Peter Markavage]

I'm not sure why you would try to "eyeball" the size of other brands.
Measure the dimensions of your pot, find what manufacturers Mouser(if
you're going to use them)  stocks, and then go to the manufacturers web
site for additional details if they're not available off the Mouser site.
Even checking the ALPS web site, it seems like they manufacturer a number
of "small" pots with on/off switches that may be stocked at the major
suppliers. ALPS even lists all the locations where their stock is
available.
