[sdiy] Rapid and Alpha pots

[Tom Bugs]

For what its worth --- also note that the pots from Rapid have slightly 
longer shafts than those from Futurlec - there's about 5mm in it - I 
prefer the Futurlec length..
Since finding about Futurlec I've been buying virtually all my pots from 
them.

Good to know that Rapid are now offering EU shipping without such a high 
minimum order - that'll open things up for many people (...no relevance 
to my UK ass though!)

All  best,
Tom
