[sdiy] My new Moog 960 sequencer clone module project.. slowly but surely ..

[Tom Wiltshire]

Hang on…3/8” bushing, 1/2” nut, and…6mm shaft?!?

Honestly, the electronics world is such a mess with units.

These have solder tabs which are 0.1" closer to the body than the older ones, and they have much beefier 3/8" shanks (the same as 1/4" jacks) and appear to be made out of a higher-quality metal.  I buy mine from Small Bear, and I have been very very happy with them -- here is the URL:
