Re: serge knobs on Plan B modular

2008-05-07 by (i think you can figure that out)

They won't work.  There are a bunch of reasons.  I posted a long
letter  about this recently on the Analogue Haven forum.  You may want
to look that up there.  In summary, if you go that route, you have two
options:

1)  The Davies require 1/4 inch cylindrical shafts.  Doepfer, Plan B,
Analogue Solutions and Systems' pots use 6mm knurled shafts.  If you
put the Davies on them the knobs will turn concentrically (they'll
whooble as they go around).

2) Change the pots to 1/4 inch straight shafts.  There are many
different values you'll need to concern yourself with.  At Mouser
these pots are $1.34 each at quantity.
