Front panel trimmers

[Larry Hendry]

I got some adapters from Mouser when I added multiturn trimmers to my
MIDI2CV that accomodate panel mounting.  The shafts are available so that
the are recessed (ie, no shart) flush (very nice) or stick out a little. 
They worked great for me I mounted the whole thing on PCB at right angle to
the front panel and used the trimmer pot holding devices for all the
support.  I think they were about $1.50 each. Can't remember exactly, BUT,
they worked great.  I can do all my tuning from the front of the rack mount
box, even the V/Hz option.
