[sdiy] allen bradley pots

[harry]

The used to make the "Mod Pot" with lugs or PC pins as an option, they should
still be available. I think Paul Schreiber (Synthtech - MOTM) uses this style of
pot in the modules, ask him.

You CAN fit the lugs into big holes, I've seen it done. I don't prefer it because
it
takes a LOT of solder and its harder to work on...
