[sdiy] euro supplier alpha full shaft 16mm pots

[Derek Holzer]

Actually, this won't work... the Davies clone knobs I want are 6.3mm and 
the shaft of the Futurlec knobs are 5.5mm. So they would be off center 
in a pretty serious way. Or has anyone found a way to correct this? A 
shim out of copper tubing maybe?
