Yes I love that too! I got it at a gadget shop here in stockholm but I think you can find it elsewhere too. And I guess you can do similar things to just about any of those keychains. Here's a link to where you can buy them. http://www.clickshop.com/product/3739/punchline-keychain/punchk/ (http://www.clickshop.com/product/3739/punchline-keychain/punchk/)

In Sweden they only selleri 470k too, but... Same same. The 500's I hade I've desoldered from some other old thing... I think. Let me know how it goes.

Theres been some discussion of this before. Try testing a 500K with a meter, i bet its more like 470K. Unless you spend a lot more money on precision pots the tolerances are pretty wide.

That's probably true Obi Wan!  ;) I've never noticed any difference on my "junk builds" anyway.

Yeah, if you can't find the exact value, use the closest you can get.  It probably won't matter, and in any case I thought circuit-bending was supposed to be anti-theory and imprecise?
