[sdiy] Pots/knobs question

[Chris Muir]

OK, I think it was my fault. Even though the DPN 150-006 Medium seems  
like it's in the same series, it expects a slightly different geometry  
of 6 mm D shaft than the rest of the knobs.

The one I really wanted was the DCN150-006, which is in a slightly  
different series, one with a compression ring. This knob is also  
somewhat more expensive than the other knobs because of the  
compression ring, but it should actually fit my pots, which is...   
y'know... good.
