I ordered a PCB from YuSynth and sourced all the parts from ebay. I then soldered all the components in place. I have used 2" standoffs to mount the PCB upon.
Maybe it's time to order a another fine tip paint marker. This one is done for.
No worries. The paint marker washes off with a cotton cloth and lighter fluid, leaving only the black paint surface behind. When my new marker arrives, I can re-label the face plate or begin to mill my own text onto the panel. https://www.inventables.com/technologies/desktop-3d-carving-cnc-mill-kit-shapeoko-2
I really the sound of the transistor ladder filter. It has it's own character and it is easy to use compared to a state variable filter. Of course both filters have their uses.
