[sdiy] My new Moog 960 sequencer clone module project.. slowly but surely ..

[Roman Sowa]

One thing I hated the most while refurbishing 960 was the wiring. There 
are places where several wires, maybe 5 or 6 are soldered in 1cm2 area 
with not a milimeter of spare wire to pull. I mean it's one of the 
earliest examples of non-repairable thing so popular now in smartphone 
industry. You could take it all apart like panel, all PCBs, and all the 
controls alone would still hold together in grid, so many wires.
And it looks like you're going the same path, so... good luck.
As it was said already, maybe it's good time to consider making panel 
PCB to avoid wiring hell, and move this 50-year old design slightly 
ahead by merely 15 years.

Don't get me wrong, I like what you do, enjoy your pictures every time, 
and I'm impressed by how you still make this thing while the rest of the 
world seems to waste time on pointless wars.
