These are like rocking horse poo. Hard to find. Options include:
- TruConnect PJ-360 (stereo, no thread)
- Jalco YK21-5157 and variations. 10.5mm high versions and in mono, see Jalco website. No thread though.
- Cliff doepfer use these, what part number?
- PJ-301B see http://erthenvar.com/store/ (US)

- WENZHOU QINGPU ELECTRONICS CO., LTD http://www.wqpelectronics.com/ProductShow.asp?ID=198
- Lumberg 1502 03 whilst it looks like a chassis socket with solder tags, this actually has a PCB template too Farnell
And harder to track down:
- QingPu Electronics look good. They supply to Digidesign and others:

- Recommended BI Technologies: 10.5mm high linear pots: http://www.bitechnologies.com/pdfs/p09x.pdf or on Mouser
- Bourns make a range including:
- http://www.bourns.com/ProductFamily.aspx?name=potentiometers
- PDB12-M, PCB mount, 9mm high, no thread, 12mm package
- PTV09A-4
- 3310Y series, 5mm deep with 6mm of thread so may be too low to be used easily: http://uk.farnell.com/bourns/3310-001-503l/potentiometer-50k/dp/9354000
- PTV111-3 7.5mm high body, 5.0mm high bushing (that's 12.5mm so maybe good..) available with centre detent 12mm body, cheap.
- Digital continuous encoders for microcontroller based products
- http://www.bourns.com/ProductFamily.aspx?name=potentiometers
- Vishay
- P12 series 11mm to panel
- P9 vertical mount 7mm high with 7mm bushing should be fine. http://www.vishay.com/docs/51047/p9.pdf but only good to 10V!
