"Pot Chiclets are small printed circuit boards to aid in assembly of MOTM format kits with Spectrol 148/149 or 248/249 and Bourns Type 91 potentiometers. No more painstaking and time consuming J lead preparation and heat shrink is required! Free standing Spectrol pots without PC board mounting pad locations typically require bending and forming the pins into J leads, doing the same to the wires to be attached, hooking the two J leads then soldering each pin/wire together, hoping you didn't forget to add heatshrink over the wire before soldering. With Pot Chiclets, simply solder your potentiometer to the PC board, then solder wires to the PC board. You're done! Boards are professionally manufactured, silk screened, single side copper, solder mask."I just like the name and look of these things. I grew up on chiclets. : )
Geekiest post ever?
ReplyDeleteYep, but not exactly for synth related reasons. : ) Chiclets were pretty bad as far as quality gum goes, but there was just something about the tiny little pieces.
