Were the diodes and transistors from diy-tubes, or is there some other seller in Russia still up and running?

Disappointing Monday here.
I thought finally I'd be able to finish my Electrovibe. Nope:
Of course it's my mistake and I had to be cocksure and go and buy 6 too...but why do these pots even exist?! I can't imagine where they'd be used.
Between the endless mods and the expensive or unobtainable parts I'm officially over the Electrovibe. Without the pots I can't even check if it works. I'll finish it if and when I place an order with Tayda since these pots don't seem to be available in Europe.
I also got the Switchcraft switches for my Jazzmaster. Not impressed. They both have the same jiggly play as the Squier switches, at several times the cost. The pickup selector has the same thin clips that barely connect/disconnect. I'm afraid to bend them to improve how they touch. Not a great design. Is anything good in Jazzmasters?

If you solder pin headers to the board, then solder the outer pins of the pot making sure the inner ones make contact with the headers it should be a walk in the park!

A pick!!!
Oh, and charge pump boards for an ambitious project that definitely won’t catch fire.

That amp costs the equivalent of 1500 dollars where I live. Good thing I already have a good amp!

Weirdest pots I've ever seen, Andare!
Re Giovanni's suggestion: Solder SIP header-pins to the board for the inside lugs.
The straight ones, natch, above. Short ends go into the board, long ends reaching up towards the pot. The long-pins should be tall enough to make contact with the pot's inner solder-lugs, bend the lugs if necessary but not the pins.
The outside pot-pins get soldered as per normal.
The only problem I foresee is that the heat of soldering the lugs could loosen up the board-side of the pins — I tried to adapt a dual-gang lugged pot to my Low Tide by soldering clipped-leads from diodes onto the pot, then solder the leads to the board, but the heat transference was such that the leads kept coming off the pot. Twas a total messy-fiasco.

Mine is the same, almost more jiggly. In fact, if I don’t switch it real quick, there’s a bit of static mid-switch. Not impressed at all. Wonder if there’s a way to tighten that up somehow.

That’s wild, but not surprising. I have a 90’s Twin RI that stays in my office because it’s just not practical to take out anymore. This Princeton will be perfect for anywhere now at 35 lbs and I can have case, amp, and bag in one trip.
I did the same with all my bass gear. Had a V4BH head and 410 cab which sounded awesome, but PiTA. Then a couple Ampeg 15” combos that were still 70lbs each. Sold them and got a Fender Rumble 500. 35lbs also and sounds great for what I need.

Polytrog is @dawson 's fault. Oracle is @Guardians of the analog 's fault. Y'all are some terrible/fantastic influences. I didn't NEED these but I needed them.
