Hit me up. I charge $45 an hour (which is actually pretty cheap for this sort of work), and I have almost 30 years of experience doing mechanical and electro-mechanical design. I can also do photo-realistic 3D rendering if you want to evaluate a panel layout or graphic (like the work I did for Oberheim on the Son Of 4 Voice and the Two Voice Pro), or if you want images for marketing or web use.

Feel free to contact me off list if this is too esoteric but I was wondering if anyone has contacts in the USA or Canada for places that can do runs of custom aluminum boxes even better if they can also do powdercoating/etc.</div>
