This. One of the few reasons I still use eBay sometimes is the obscure part sellers who can have lots at insanely good prices.

i would love to be able to do that, but i don't have any pots lying around. my girlfriend's dad has a ton though, maybe i can ask him about it.

yeah, ask him if you can borrow them.
then decide what value you like and get some.

i like to experiment.
i usually grab a few different values (i have a *pot bag*, lulz)
and just try them out. many times i will see the range seems
to big, (e.g. half the pot does nothing, or has no change)
other times its too small (turning the pot a tiny bit make a
huge change). just play around till you find an adequate value.
