Re: [AH] New Juno 6/60 slider clones available + JP4 question

We did just receive our shipment of the Juno 6/60 slide pots, and they 
should be available on our site by the end of the day.

I think the Jupiter 4 uses slide pots with different mounting lugs.  I 
will pop open a JP4 shortly and see whether the Juno sliders can be made 
to work.  If the solder lug configuration is the same, then it will be 
relatively easy to work around the mounting lug issue.
