Oh, OK. Guess I should have figured that myself.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm about to do (stocking up), and for
more reasons than one. However, I need to have an idea of how
frequently a particular component is used. Blindly buying 50x
47kA pots and 50x 22kB pots makes no sense ; I'll be out of 47kA
before I've even made a dent in the 22kB stock.

I've already made some stats from Oakley and Blacet kits but the
larger the sample the better.

For anyone interested, here's what I've got so far (covers 21
modules) :

4 10kA
3 10kB
2 22kA
37 47kA
16 47kA|100kA
2 47kAd centre detent
4 47kB
2 47kC
10 100kA
2 470kB
1 1MA
7 1MB

Dual gang :

1 47kA+47kA
1 1MB+1MB|470kB+470kB

Thank you.
