[sdiy] alligator patchbay ideas?

[jhaible at debitel.net]

Cheap?

Hammer long nails thru a wooden frontpanel, just so deep
that they show on the inside (for soldering), and the longer 
part is still outside for the alligators.

Might also work for a plastic frontpanel - in that case don't use
the hammer and heat the nails instead. (;->)

You said cheap, didn't you?
