[sdiy] SSM2017P

[John L Marshall]

One solution that I have used is to use normal log taper pots but use a knob
with numbers printed on a skirt.

Use a hole saw to make a plastic skirt for your favorite knob. Print your
legend clockwise around the edge of the plastic (0 through 10) clockwise.
Glue the skirt to the back or your knob.

The natural inclination will be to turn the knob counter-clockwise to
increase value.
