[sdiy] Encore Frequency Shifter In Frac Rack?

[darkflame darkflame]

Dear all,

Sorry for the cross posting. My name is Gregg and I am a fan of frequency shifters (even though I have only tried d*g*t*l versions so far). I was recently very impressed with the price, specs and demos of the new Encore Electronics frequency shifter available here:

http://www.encoreelectronics.com/

The only problem is I use Frac Rack compatible modules (Blacet, Wiard 1200, and Synthmodules.com). Whilst the power supply wouldn't be a problem, mounting it would. I would very much like to see a good frequency shifter in Frac Rack format, as there are currently none availble (unless you want to get into diy and build or mod your own, which i don't have the skills to do).

Therefore I decided to contact Tony at Encore and see if he would be willing to produce it in Frac Rack format, here is what he said:

"The problem is the Frac Rack is much shorter than MOTM and would require a 
completely different layout. Basically it would require a completely new 
physical redesign. I would do it if I could have 40 people pre-pay a deposit 
for it. If you could drum up that many people, let me know... 

Regards, 
Tony"

So, what say you? Would you be willing to pre-pay a deposit for one? I know I would. At the moment I don't know what kind of response this will get, or how much the unit would cost if it really happens, although I am assuming it would be a similar price to the MOTM format one which is currently available.

If you would be interested then I would like to know! I will start collecting names, and if we can get to 40, then I can get back to Tony with the good news! Please let me know on list, or off:

Looking forward to hearing from you,
