I just completed the new DIYRE 1073 clone and I really enjoyed the build.

I really want to try one of Colin's kits, and obviously the 1073 makes the most sense.

Compared to the ez1081, I like to have two "gain stages" for lack of a better term, which is somewhat universal and the absence of one on the 1081 seems odd.

MY QUESTION:

Has anyone successfully implemented a KNOB in place of the "Trim" screwdriver slot on the AML EZ1073PRE?

Like, literally just did whatever it took to have a potentiometer sticking out the front panel, presumably the exact size to fit the smaller grey marconi knob?

Would this be a futile effort? Or a nightmare?

Should I try a 1081 instead and see what it's like to only have a gain switch?

Thank you very much for any information.
