I remember them quite fondly. The durability was not quite up to spec sometimes.

My mind keeps kicking in Ohmite (IRC?) for another good brand from the olden days.

Clarostat, Bournes, Ohmite... Some of the old ones were massive and works of art. How did these outfits survive into the digital age? Now even the trimmers on the back of CRT's and TV's have gone away with the big tube. What's left for potentiometers, some volume controls? Even in that application they're getting rare. Even some of the rotary knob volume controls are digital detent encoders.
