[sdiy] Potentiometer torque

[Rutger Vlek]

Hi Dave,

That's a familiar problem! I've had a surprisingly (given the price) good experience with the stiffness of 16mm Alpha pots. The 9mm variants usually seem less stiff, which makes sense as they're typically used in smaller designs combined with smaller knobs.
