Title: Want to buy: Pot with built in push button and illumination LED
Post by: Psi on August 05, 2017, 10:05:08 pm

Has anyone come across any panel mount rotary pots with both..
- Built in push button switch
- Illumination LED of any color

i can find one or the other, but not both
(It has to be a pot, not an encoder)

Price isn't really a problem but i only need 30 or so.

Yeah, seen that one before. Sadly it's a rotary switch, not push button

I am not sure what the deal with this thing is but it looks like some sort of addon from Alps to create some sort of led add on to potentiometers.
