[sdiy] Knobs/pots/jacks suggestions

[James Patchell]

I like the Alpha (xicon) pots you can get from Mouser.  They are very 
inexpensive...have a fairly good feel...and best of all...are under a 
dollar...in fact...the knob is going to cost more than the pot...


My favorite knob... Davies 1900H....Status....seemingly unobtainable :-(

Because I can't get the Davies knob...I get a knob made by Eagle...Mouser 
part number ME450-2060...for example

Here is a picture of a panel using the Eagle knobs...
