ok, lets just say i was kidding about the 3.5mm jacks and skip the beatings ;)
i just measured my alpha pot with my handy-dandy digital caliper...im measuring
6.85mm
(rounded up to the nearest 0.05mm diameter across the threaded part of the shaft=thicker than the smooth part.) opening the calipers to 7.0mm gives just a tiny bit of play and would probably be a 'safe' bet.
it would really be nice to have the right hole size punched for the circular design so it looks good assembled (it can be a merry bitch to get those pots somewhat centered while swimming around in a big hole).
oh, im referring to the klee panel since i have a full kit waiting for it.
and really, i wont be too picky however the panel comes out. and i have a unibit for boring out holes so no biggie if a hole is small for the part i want to use.
