Warning: Using 1/4" jacks on ASM-1 faceplate

Just a word of warning to anyone who might be using 1/4" jacks on
their ASM-1 project. I just received a good quantity of Switchcraft type
112A enclosed jacks (really good quality, and not cheap!). As I was
mounting them, I discovered that the three holes for the noise outputs
are too close together! These as well as the VCA gain CV INs!
Solution? The switchcraft enclosed plugs have connectors on only half
of the plastic enclosure. Using a pair of cutters, I carefully cut away
the half of the enclosure that was empty, being sure to leave the corners
intact (as the jack uses the corners to keep the connectors in place).
With two "half" jacks on the outside holes and an unmodified jack in the
middle, my problem was solved. :)
