[sdiy] Euro Synth Spec

[Mike HEQX]

John, Thanks for the info. Curious why you use the right angled jacks 
and not straight?

I'm thinking of building a line of modules, but right now focusing on 
one-off custom instruments. They don't use 3.5mm.

I have seen a nice 3.5mm jack that has a lovely domed nut. If I was 
building modules I would use those. Don't know where to get them yet.

like this but for 3.5mm
