<p class=MsoNormal>Yep, exactly. Those jacks used to also come in different
colors, wasn't able to find any during my quick search on ebay, but I'm sure
they're still out there. If the Johnson / Cinch jacks fit, it should be the
same thing really.<o:p></o:p></p>

Matthias mentions... the original used banana jacks which looked very similar
to these (I don't have it anymore so I can't verify if the dimensions provided
are the same, but I'd imagine so): <a

<div>
<p>Hello list,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p>I am asked by a friend if it is possible to get a eurorack Voltage Memory
and covert it to fit with the rest of his rig, which is, mainly, a bugbrand
synth voice.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>The PCB pic I can see from modular addict, for the eurorack version, doesn't
seem accommodating to bananas. I could widen the wholes already present
for the 3.5mm jacks on the PCB, but I'm not sure if there's enough space...<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>I think widening the wholes on the Panel is very easy so it doesn't feel
concerning at this stage.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Any kind of advice is greatly appreciated!<o:p></o:p></p>
