Digikey is another source with a variety of types available. Know your size limits, what diameter shaft and mounting bushing (if any) you need and the power dissipation required. (1/2 watt, 1 watt, etc.)

What would be the best wattage if it were to be hooked up to the 2004 RC? 2004 OI? If I remember, we hooked up a 100k, 1/4 watt, pot that I got from Jameco and it got fairly hot and tripped the OI, but I think when we used them on the RC it worked fine. Hmmm? I fairly sure we wired it correctly to the PORT pinouts.

1/2 watt or 1 watt should be fine.
