[sdiy] KorgMS20 mods? help?

[peter edwards]

Thanks Steve. The break out box is a good idea. I've wanted to  
replace the flimsy plastic side panels for a while. Maybe I could  
make wooden sides that extend up an extra few inches, then I could  
add an extra face plate over the existing one.
Thanks to everyone for the feedback.
