I decided it would be nice not to have to modify the CorsairII knob when
replacing the PTO with my DDS unit, so I made up a shaft adaptor; it
slips over the encoder shaft, and has stepped diameters to accept the
dial skirt and the knob without any modification. I made it out of some
old switch bushing plus a couple of pieces of spacer tubing. I just
added 3 photos of it to my web page:
