I think I want to go with Selcos.

The way I figure it is that if/when I do spend some thousands of  
dollars on a Buchla (which I'm sure I will do at some point), it will  
be on 200e stuff. I can build some of the older stuff myself, but  
there's no way that I, on my own, could do anything remotely  
equivalent to a 200e module. The old Buchla stuff is expensive because  
it is extremely rare, not because there's necessarily that many parts  
inside the box (although some of are chock full of party goodness).

So, it might be nice for whatever DIY Buchla stuff I build for myself  
to sort of match the 200e look.

That said - when I go to the website, I see "QUOTE" on all the prices.  
Blah, I wish I could just shop and add stuff to an online cart and  
that sort of thing and not deal with a human on the other end.

P.S. BTW, Mark, your front panels are gorgeous! Who do you have doing  
your front panels?
