Mini Modular synth project

[Haible Juergen]

Hi Chris,

this sure looks good !
I like the concept of one single PCB, with all pots, and even jacks, mounted
on top of it. I've been thinking about going that way for my next larger
project,
too. (What ever this will be (;->) )
How do you provide mechanical stability ? I guess the jacks will be fixed to
the
front panel. But the pots ? what are you doing to reduce the force on the
PCB
when something bumps against the knobs ?
