i am restoring a micromoog. i has board mounted potentiometers with plastic half shafts. they have "feet" that go into the board. i need a 5k and a 50k audio taper. anybody ever find a source for them ?

rotary pots
From the YouTube movies seems that Moog Music still use them both on the Voyager and the Theremin. They´re snap-in PCB mounted 24mm potentiometers. Is this correct? I used these keywords, with no luck. The Rogue I´m restoring uses the same type. They´re fine, except for some goo left. Replacing them with new ones would save me a lot of work.

parts are parts
yeah parts are parts. you just have to be a little creative. without those 70's style board mount pots with a plastic 1/2 shaft i'll solder down some regular pannel mount ones and double stick tape them down to the board. if i can't find half shafts i'll take em to the bench grinder. i like old Moogs and ARPs. i did major repair on my ARP without even a schematic. now it is nice to collect those factory repair manuals on CD ROM.

analog parts
yes i registered with alpha usa only to find they sell in 1000 lot bulk. nasty cause i see what would make nice moog pots. i live in upstate NY and getting a few parts local is almost impossible. the only walk in shops are radio shack and most stores have just about discontinued parts. there are lots of catalogs and on line but they all have a $25 minimum order. yes, me and my friends all have a 150lbs of junk and spare parts. you know how it is though. you either cant find it or have everything but what you need.
