Ok, I have installed the linear 100K pots in my
yoke and they work great. Radio Shack does carry
these:

271-092 RadioShack

100K-Ohm
Linear-Taper
Potentiometer

250VDC * 0.25W

They say B100K on them. Make sure you don't buy
the A100K ones (the casings are identical!).

Have fun,

Jude

p.s. These potentiometers have a 20% variance on
them. This means any given pot could be between
80 and 120K. I recommend buying 3 or 4 of them
and testing the total resistance. (put your ohm
meter across the opposite pins, neglecting the
middle pin of the pot) Just make sure the total
resistance isn't less than 100K.
