While poking around my power supply board this weekend with my intermittent TR7, I thought about change out of the pots. I know I hear that you need to not only change the pots, but also move the fixed resistors to the rear. So....
Is there any reason why you can not just mount the multi-turn pots on the rear of the PCB thereby saving the extra rework effort of also moving the fixed resistors?
