[sdiy] PCB mounted pots for MOTM-style prototyping board

[Elby Designs]

Hi,

The centre point position is an option as part of the manufacturers build
specification. However as the norm is for left pointing you will find that
you either need to order an MOQ from the manufacturer, find someone who has
already done that, file a new flat for the grub screw (or even don't bother
with the flat and just go straight on to the shaft wherever) or change to
18T which is what I did for my euro modules where I had exactly the same
problem.

Thanks!

It looks like these won't mount directly into the PCB, though? Or, I should
say, if you do, the "center" postition of the pot will be towards the left
and right, not straight up?
