[sdiy] cables from PCB --> front/pots

[George Hearn]

On the question of wire gauges.  In my opinion, save the world and use the
least copper you can!  There is no reason electrically to use 24 or 22 gauge
wire over 28 gauge for front panel potentiometer wiring.  Mechanically I
suppose the heavier gauge wire is sturdier but inside the case does it
matter if they are nicely secured?  George

22, always.
