[sdiy] Vertical 3.5mm jack sockets

[Jim Credland]

Ah - though the ones I've got on the way I think are 13.5mm high. 

Also - I've been using BI Technologies P09 series pots and have a couple
of hundred 100k here, and 280 P0915N-QC15AR10K log pots on order from
the factory.  Let me know if you'd like some: 280 was the minimum order!
cheers, J.
