[sdiy] Reselling Doepfer style jacks?

[Peter Grenader]

Very good idea...

And before everyone starts ranting on these jacks - know that the initial
problem that plagued these three manufacturers was due to a lousy spring
tension design which has since been corrected by Cliff.  Course, none of
these newly redesigned jacks had hit the States the last time I checked
(about Namm time), but they have been on Doe and A. Systems gear for some
time.  As far as A. Solutions, it was my understanding that Tom is no longer
making modular gear, so possibly this isn't an issue.
