[sdiy] question about pot size?

[James Patchell]

I should say ( to add to my earlier post), the Xicon Pots are the "Alpha" 
pots I mentioned in my earlier post.  And I will add again that in general, 
these are the pots that I use myself.  They are good pots, and I should add 
that I have equipment I built more than 20 years ago that have these pots 
in them and they are still working fine...
