MOTM

These are the Vishay/Spectrol MOTM sealed pots.  $5.67 each in 50 
quantity.   If we assume the Alpha pots cost less than $1.00 each in 
quantity, then lets say the additional cost would be roughly $5.00 per 
pot times 7 pots, or about $35 additional cost per module.

I just bought one of those pots, and by golly it is white, just like 
Paul said.  Same part number as the black ones we are used to.  They are 
physically smaller, too.  They might even fit the panel depth needed on 
the ZO (which is another reason to have chosen the Alphas -- the 
Spectrols would have been too deep).
