    Thanks...

        Found them in the Mouser catalog also...This is very convienent.  I am
still amused by the fact that the know costs about the same as the pot, but
still, that is not a bad price for the whole assembly.

    It looks like my credit card is going to be taking a real big ding this
weekend.
