I don't do drugs, but if you're talking about potentiometers, you can get them from radio shack. Unless you can find a few in a surplus outlet somewhere. Some places will give you a discount for buying in quantity, but if you only need three...

www.digikey.com has a huge selection of components

not the cheapest but they really do have a lot of components

oh yeah and 2nd day shipping = <3

but of course if all you need are 3 pots then you probably want to find a local electronics components store instead...

RS only carries a few pots anymore, only one 50k and it's a linear taper with a max rating of half a watt. Digikey would be the best bet for something like that.
