Ken's PC board designs give the builder many choices for panel designs,
and this includes deciding what pots and switches you want to put on the
panel. Sometimes you will see optional pots on a hookup diagram that
are not shown on the schematic. There was a discussion here about two
weeks ago about pot options for the Wave Multiplier. Check the
archives. The short answer is it's up to you which pots to use. If you
need to know the value of a particular pot or how to hook it up, this
list is a good place to ask. The most frequently used value seems to be
100K linear taper.
I feel your pain, Andre. I spend a lot of time keeping track of what
parts I need for current projects, checking against my current parts
stock, totalling up what I need to buy, and then making up orders to
Mouser, Digi-Key or others. Look at buying in quantity. I often order
resistors in bulk of 200 from Mouser, since the price drops from 9 to 2
cents each. Buying 25 resistors costs more than buying 200. Why not
stock up. If you tally only what you need now and buy that, in the long
run you spend more.
