[sdiy] Piher PC16 warning

Two warnings regarding the Piher PC16 series of pots.

Plastic shafts are splined but have 30 teeth. Splined shafts
usually have 18 teeth. Knobs designed to go on splined shafts
don't mate with Piher PC16 pots.

The feel of the wiper on the track spells "cheap". Those pots are
apparently spec'd for 25k operations. All I can say is that they
certainly don't feel like it.
