Im wanting a dual ganged 24mm center detent pot. If I have to settle on another brand I will, but typically use Alpha in everything I build.
Any ideas if such a pot exists?
I cant seem to find anything from my searches. Would want 250K if possible.

I believe that bourns has something in the electric guitar series pots, I’d have to look for the model numbers
The center detent makes it hard. Presumably you want linear taper.
You can probably find this in the Bourns PTD series. I'm not a big fan of these pots, but it's an option. These are very tiny.
Why the 250k value? That's really high. The usual application for these is a pan pot or for boost / cut in a stereo EQ section. 10k is about the standard value for both of these.
Depending on your budget, you could always reach out to State Electronics or Omeg and have a custom part made.

I was wanting it for a balance control. Likely would be linear taper if possible.
If anything else comes to mind, let me know.

I guess something like that would do, only problem is it has a press on shaft and not the round shaft for a screw on knob.
Im just going by what the schematic calls for.
I could possibly tweak is if necessary.
I just realised that the pot that chrisng has linked to is a "blend" pot.
I had been looking at using that type, but the article here doesnt recommend using that design.
I was wanting to implement figure c into this design. in the link below
Balance controls.a
I guess I could increase the value of the 120K resistors to compensate for a lower value pot?
Bourns has a 200K pot with center detent, so that may be suitable?
