[simpits-tech] Slide potentiometers

[John Miguez]

I think they are 50K pots?  I looked at them once and considered
replacing them.  Mouser has a 50K that will fit, however the slide
handle is a little different.

As I recall, Suncom was French.  Pots are probably from Europe.

Speaking of slide pots, I need to replace the ones in my Suncom 
throttle.  Has any one replaced the pots in a Suncom throttle?  Part 
numbers?

Thanks!
