    Sorry I missed your post Trevor. That picture is gold! This build journey of yours is fascinating for me to watch because it represents my Everest - doing the whole lot basically from scratch.

    I'm somewhat relieved - that will be so much easier to just make a nice dob of solder on the volume pot and just attach the two ground wires to that.
