Modular Synth Panels

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.
