PLEASE READ! As of March 2013 we are using a different distributor for potentiometers. The new pots have a blue body and are higher quality than old green bodied ones. Unfortunately they are a little harder to read. The value of the potentiometer is printed on the bottom using the following code.

10k = B103

100k = B104

500k = B504

This is actually a very common way of marking components. The first letter indicates the taper of the pot. In this case it is a "B" which means the pot is linear taper. The 1st two digits stand for the value of the pot. The 3rd digit is the number of zeros which follow the first 2 digits. For instance "103" means "10" followed by 3 zeros, which is "10,000". This pot is 10,000 ohms.
