Or just wire it up and let it hang ;)
A jack-based bracket would be very useful. I did all sorts of shameful
punk-rock things behind the panel before Howard showed me his method. A
dedicated bracket would be great, though. And your first idea, Larry, is
also good.
Now I need one about 2 feet long for that darned Paia vocoder! :)
