A simple slide potentiometer can go a long way. Rated at 10KOhm and 0.1W. Comes with solder tab connections. The pot has an overall travel of 20mm and has two mounting holes on top.
This skill defines how difficult the soldering is on a particular product. It might be a couple simple solder joints, or require special reflow tools.
Skill Level: Noob - Some basic soldering is required, but it is limited to a just a few pins, basic through-hole soldering, and couple (if any) polarized components. A basic soldering iron is all you should need.

cad file anyone?
"two mounting holes on top" ... to mount with what? m3 screw doesnt fit; is it m1, m2 or m2.5?
The travel area is more than 20 mm.
The photo shows 3 terminals and different mounting tabs than are shown in the PDF spec sheet, which shows 6 terminals (2 duplicates for each terminal) - can you confirm which of the two is actually correct?
Are there any knobs available for the slider?
The pinout for this is as follows: Pins 1 & 3 are positive/ground, and pin 2 is the analog wiper. This component doesn't care which end is positive and which is ground, but reversing these will also reverse the direction/value of the wiper.
I'm guessing that I could use this as a replacement slide pot on the SF Digital Sandbox, correct? I see it has the same dimensions.
How are these wired please?
Could this be used as a crossfader? I see there are pins on either end of the slider -- if I hooked up two audio channels, would it apply, e.g. 0K resistance to one and 20K to the other?
You could, but: Simple passive crossfader/ balance circuit?
