Diy Patch-bay

[J.G. Wong]

In case anybody needs one.
I have a couple of ADC patch bays (jacks in front, posts on back) that I
bought at a studio liquidation . Got 5, used three.  $ 75 plus shipping
fair ?  

Best

PS I saw a 5 speed  drill press for $59 in a catalog called Heartland
America. $ 12.95 shipping. Don't know about the quality but could be
useful if it's decent.
