First off,  Thanks for all of the replies, you folks have been a ton of help 
!

Thanks for that link, it opens up many more uses for these pots.  It also 
reminded me of a paper I saw some time back that I think was written by Mr. 
Laurie (Elby Designs) Biddulph that delt with changing the responce curves 
of pots.  I'll have to see if I still have that link.

True, that was my original intention but it's great to know that I have many 
other options as well.
I do have both CGS and Oakley circuits on my wish list among others 
(Yusynth, Tellun, MFOS)

Can't argue with that.  The pots in question are new-old-stock Bourns series 
3862 cermet panel mount with an 1/8" diameter D shaft.  I bought 70+ of 
these critters about a year ago for about $.60 US each.

I finally got my "store bought" modular (DotCom & MOTM with a Blacet StonZ 
phase shifter) up and running about two weeks ago.  It onlt took 15 months 
longer than my original schedule.
But now it's time to break out the soldering iron and start using some of 
the parts I've been buying for the past year.

Again,  Thanks to all !
