Nope, never. I should imagine the standoffs are good at their job.

The knobs normally prevent this and clouting a knobless pot smashes the pot.

pot.

Clouting knobless pots on this would guarantee the board dropping away inside. All that holds the board ,then, is 8 quartered pips into the 8 pcb holes , easy finger force to release . Does make it a doddle to remove the pcb for repair, none of those awkwardly placed triangular catch pieces or screws etc

I tend to come to conclusions through evidence.

I have seen no evidence so far of what you are proposing actually happening.

Nothing amiss here either , this pcb not having been dislodged even partially. I've never seen this approach used anywhere else. I could not decide whether it was a neat idea or an accident waiting to happen. Just measured one of these "anchors" , about 5 pounds to dislodge one stand off , so x8 for the whole 15 x 3 inch board, once the knobs were loosened/shifting along the spindles.
