Call up your local Allen-Bradley representative.  I don't know if they
still make them with center detents, but you can special order just about
any pot in a onsie-twosie order.  You may pay twenty bucks for a pot, but
that's better than getting nothing at all.  The Mod-Pot stuff is a lot
cheaper than the older Type J pots if you need something very unusual, but
I think the Type Js sound better.
