[sdiy] Pot standard revolution!

[Bart Provoost]

Nice thread for a question that I have for a while ;)
 I want to put some Coron DS-7 and DS-8 drum synths into a modular, but also
some Amdek PCK-100's. For the Amdeks I want to use the knobs of some other
DS-7's so they look the same as my DS-7/8 modules (yes, I bought some just
for the knobs ;)).
 Some of the Coron knobs have enough "grip" for turning the Amdek shafts,
but they fall off quite easy. Not all of them, only the ones that are
already not that firm on the Corons.
 Is there a trick for that? I don't want to use glue or other "permanent"
solutions...
