Wanted: Alps 250K Balance Potentiometer

[nelsress]

I'm looking for one or more Alps 250K balance potentiometers for a couple projects upcoming. I've been told that these have been discontinued, sadly, but I don't know for sure. Anyway, please drop me a note if you have one or more available. Thank you.

No, I have one similar to that by Bourns, the ones I'm looking for look just like the Alps "blue velvet" volume pots except the ones I've had in the past were black in color, not blue. They look a lot like these:

Arent the ALPS black pots better than the blue ones?

That I don't know. the only black Alps pot I've ever had was a balance pot, not a volume pot. The only blue ones I've seen were volume pots.

I am in search of the Alps Balance Potentiometers. Thanks.
