I am talking specifically about the short pin version with smooth shaft.

I have been getting them from Tayda and I found the knobs kind of feel weird on them and wobble as they turn. I was missing a few values for a couple projects that Tayda dindnt carry so I got some from Smallbear. I found the knob travelled around them wonderfully and the pot itself provided less resistance too. Great!

But now I am thinking of ordering some from Mammoth because they are a bit cheaper than Small Bear, they are having a 20% off sale until tomorrow and I like their 1590BBM enclosures.

Does anyone know if these are the full 6.35mm or just 6? Im assuming that thats what the difference is because tayda lists them as 6-6.35mm so I guess its a bit of a grab bag what you get when you order from them. Small bear also specifially lists a 6mm version for a few cents more. Mammoth, however doesnt list the diameter. If they are the same as the Small Bear ones thats great. If they are the same as the Tayda ones Im much better off getting them there. Anyone have experience with these?
