need 2-ohm 5w wirewound pot

[Alex [Temple-Heath List]]

Hi Dan,

The Mallory pot is actually just about 3/4" inch in diameter. It's 
the VW 5W type on the PDF. Again, it doesn't necessarily have to be 
exactly that size. The ohmic value is more important. Power handling 
I'm guessing doesn't have to be the full 5W either, but since it's a 
wirewound pot, it's a given that it will handle a couple of watts at minimum.

Please keep an eye open also for a 25-ohm 5W unit, which I also need.

Thanks.
