Very nice, Blake. If you check out my babanized Doeph, I actually
used larger, sturdier 'nanners (Pomona), which have metal posts in
which the nut screws (instead of the metal nut-to-plastic post
Johnsons). That required enlarging the holes a wee bit. See the
results at www.stucki.com/krhen/downloads/jdiaz/jd.04.jpg

Very true. The problem is that, because they're so damn brittle, the
pc boards are easily damaged during the conversion. Still, I think
the cheapo jacks are the only significant flaw of the Doepfer (I love
it! I can treat it like dirt, chew it up and spit it out, and it
still makes this awesome sound. My favorites: A-127 filter, A-125
phaser, VC-ADSR, the joystick and the pedal interface).
