Unfortunately it's not what I'm looking for at all. If you happen across
my original post you'll see that I discussed having a separate pot/switch
setup. The pot isn't a problem. I've already have both the A/D code and my
segment divider setup. The primary requirements were that the pot and switch
be integrated and the switch it pushbutton.

BTW it would still be possible to build the interface with a pot and integrated
switch that clicks on one end like an on/off/volume knob. It would require
clicking to activate the interface, then timing out once the value has settled.
It's a bit awkward, but workable.

The only way I've done it is to actually start cleaning them. They are
throwaways in the $2 to $5 range I've been getting them recently. They clog
and stop operating smoothly. They get replaced and thus breed in the junkbox.
By cleaning them, they last a lot lot longer. A flathead jeweler's screw-
driver does wonders to restoring smooth operation.
