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

<div dir="auto" class="">Like yourself and David I also wondered about a panel PCB, being
thoroughly allergic to wiring. But sometimes finding parts that are both what
you want *and* close enough to each other in height... can be difficult</div>
