[sdiy] wire wrap for panel mounts

[David G. Dixon]

I strip a section of wire roughly equal in length to the pcb pins of the
pot, and simply lay it on the pin and solder (this may require holding the
wire in place with a "third hand").  I don't wrap the pin with the wire.  In
this way, when I eventually replace the pot with a proper one with solder
lugs, I can simply touch the tip of the soldering iron to the wire and it
will come right off.  I don't have to hold the soldering tip on the pin or
yar on the wire to get it off.  This ensures that I can reuse the
pcb-mounted pot later in the manner in which God intended.
