Thats a really good point.  Well, if there are already holes in the mixer
panel for original sliders and you were just making a mounting plate to fit
in your new sliders, I'd say that'd be a good call for the subframe vs
drilling new holes.  Slight bit more work vs aesthetics.
But, yeah, I'd say 99.99% of Klee sequencers were not built with the concept
of servicablity as a major concern... :-)
