Hey Dave,

Thanks for your Post. But in the pix you've described the VRs are
soldered away and I can't see if he just crushed them or if he used
them elsewhere.
I'm looking for a way to just leave the VRs as they are and solder a
knob to them instead which lets you choose whether you go over them
VRs or over the pots that are freshly installed.
And I can't seem to find Atom Smashers Homepage. It's not on the link
list and just googling for it brought strange results. Could you
please send me a link?

Thanks for your help :)

Cheers,
Beloc
