Hi, not checked the rest but that reference is not for 100K, it's for a 10K log pot.😉
The solder lug 100K pots are not available anymore through Farnell, they just have a ring lug version.
I think RS do one however.... 249-9222

Unfortunately I won't have a car. Fly in on Tuesday. Work the show for 4 days, fly back on Sunday. If I had more time I would suggest we get together and talk audio over a beer (or 2). I must say I am jealous you live so close to Belgium beer. I homebrew as well as DIY audio. German beer is great, but the Belgiums sure know how to add a bit of insanity to the process and make some incredibly unique brews.:spin:

I do like Belgian beer. Where I live it is hard to get good Belgians. Good German beer is much easier to get and brew. As I said, the Belgians use a bit of insanity with things like soured grain and bacterial infections that violate the beer purity laws in so many ways it's not funny. Although one must give credit to the Germans for coming up with things like decoction mash techniques (before thermometers were invented) and stein beer techniques. My friend and I have 50 gallons of stein beer in secondary right now. Who would think of taking rocks out of a fire pit and dunking them into wort? Germans.:drink: This is my second trip to the continent, so I am no stranger to how good German beer is. I will make sure to make the best of my evenings:drink:

I had Problem with the PCB. The holes for the short wire side of the LDR are very small as the gauge is thinner than the longer wire on the other side. It could be a QC problem, but it is impossible to push the wires through (at least on mine). The wires are very flimsy and you can’t push them really or they may break off. I had to find some really thin wire and push it through the holes and then solder the LDR legs to the that. Doesn’t look as neat, but should work.

You mean the smaller holes for the kathode and anode of the LDR are to small on the PCB? 🙁

They may be too small or they may be just a very tight fit. The problem is that the short wires (Cathode and Anode) are very thin and you cannot apply enough pressure to get them in without risk of bending or breaking. I would suggest that in future boards you make the holes the same size as the other 2 legs.
