What Peter is saying is true BUT the problem is not that bad. I have several of the Davies clones on my system (utilizing the 6.5mm shafts found on Doepfer, Plan B) and yes there is some concentric travel, but it is not very obvious. Somebody suggested a clipping from a drinking straw made up the difference perfectly. I have not tried that, but it seems likely as the difference from .25" and 6.5mm is very small. I would suggest buying a handful and trying it out, you could always have them as spares for your Serge system if they do not work out.
