I just looked again at the Modcan Sequencer and you're absolutely right!

(There are other projects that I still might consider using Concentric pots
for, but I think it's really funny how carried away with this I got)!

With the 17A Sequencer,
Bruce broke his (unspoken) design rule of **everything** on one-inch centers
Now if he can do it - so shall I      Yippee!  LOL!

I guess to a large degree I design my front panels first, and only  *then*
figure-out what's needed inside to make it work... (Somebody just said that
that's how Don Buchla always does it - so I guess that I'm in good company)?

In other words...  
(I must be nuts)?

well, at least I'm getting an education in concentric pots today

for all the work and expense you just saved me -
THANK YOU TONY!
