I'm working on a tube amp project and I need to order some 1/2 watt pots for it but I'm having a hard time finding them.
Does anyone know a good source for 1/2 watt or more pots?
I tried Mouser.com but by the time I filter for audio taper and the resistance I need and the only ones left are not stocked.
I'm looking for 250k and 1M pots for the pre,gain,treble, and bass pots.
Thanks.
Lots of people just use the 24mm Alpha's in tube amps that are rated for 1/4w in the Audio line, 1/2w in linears. Sold by Tube Depot for amps as well as probably Mouser.

If you want to spend lots of money you could look at PEC's 2w.

Digikey filters out 28, half watt or greater audio pots, didn't check the values.
