Help me find a special pot

[777mick777]

I'm searching for 100K pot that has like some kind of switch on the far left. It's basically a volume knob but when turned fully counterclockwise it will turn the pedal off.
Any thoughts?

Any particular size, taper, mounting, manufacturer, or retailer? If you don't need something super specific it shouldn't be too difficult to source.

Or possibly some antique radio repair/supply site or store may have them. Those type of pots were pretty common in old TVs and radios, not sure about the values though.

Oh, and there's always eBay.

I've got loads of old pots with switches on them. Nice big brass ones that I rip out of old radios or buy on ebay. I'm actually surprised people don't use them more. Got one in a Monacor Fuzzder that I bought the other day and it's a good way to turn off the battery without taking the leads out as long as you remember to do it. Where are you? If you're in the UK, I'll have a hunt through and see if I've got a 100k.

Really nice, this is what I was seeking. Im making a tube boost and I already designed it. The name means tube. I only need to make the circuit more easy and the switch will be nice for turning the pedal off.

It's still a cheeto maaaaan. Just because you dropped it, that doesn't like, you know, change what it is or something. WHOA! What's that orange caterpillar thing on the floor! DUDE! I'm freakin out here.
