I have an old Blaupunkt tape player in my car that used some small pots to base, treble, etc that normally set flush on the surface. You push on one and its shaft pops out so you can turn it. Push it in again and it locks down on the surface. It's purely a mechanical feature.
I gotta say that was an awesome little component. I'd love to put something like that into a project, but I haven't seen any such component on Digikey. I don't even know if this feature has a "proper" name for me to search for.
Anybody know what these are, and where I could get some?
I still have that stereo... I should take it apart and at least get a mfg for the components they used if there's any mfg marking on them.
