These holes should be .125” in diameter. Position the template on the synth so that the PG-800 Mini PCB sits directly to the right of the JX front panel PCB as shown below. The two should not touch. When the drill template is in position, tape it down and use a center punch to mark the hole locations. - Page 7 When the overlay is placed, use the screws and spacers to create 6 standoffs as shown in the figure below. These standoffs are what the PG-800 Mini will mount to. This must be done with the graphic overlay applied to the panel. Insert the black screws (through the front panel facing side) into the 6 small mounting holes in the panel.
