Re: [motm] 5U E560 Deflector Shield conversion

2014-08-23 by Richard Brewster

I got the E560 and E580 DIY boards, and also FPE panels from Dave 
Brown's designs.  I removed the switches and pots today.  I want to use 
the pot mounting holes to mount the board to a bracket, so I don't have 
to drill holes in the corners of the PCB.  Maybe I didn't get all the 
solder out of the pot mounting holes, because a 4-40 nylon screw doesn't 
quite fit through.  If I removed all the solder would they fit?   Or if 
I drilled them out to 1/8 inch, would that risk damaging the board?

Thanks,

Richard Brewster
