Another commend to make is make certain to leave plenty of clearance around
the mounting holes.  This was a major flaw with the boards in DonnieMoogs
and if you arnt carefull with those damn metal clips in a real Moog with
original boards you can easily make your pulse wave quit working in Osc1,
not that I've done that before or anything...
