Rheostat/ potentiometer

Post by B-boy » Thu Feb 04, 2016 10:07 pm

Looking to put together a stir plate with some old CPU components. Does anyone know of a local source for Potentiometers at a reasonable price? Ive tried Jentronics, RAE and a few other spots in the park to no avail also the Source carries doesn't carry anything these days. Anyone purchased one in the past?

that must have been a little while ago, they no longer carry any hobbyist electronic supplies.

Might find one as a fan speed controller. I got some from dx.com.
