A nice idea, and I'm sure some people could make good use of them.
However, to be honest (and Ken S. or others can disagreed with me), given
the 10 (about) CGS modules that I have currently mounted onto front
panels, I used Stooge pcb brackets on 2 modules (wave mult. & Steiner
filter). The other modules (e.g., gated comparator, pulse div./logic,
dual asr) are (mostly) Switchcraft sockets, so the pot-based Stooge
brackets would have to be modified for securing to sockets. I just custom
cut some pcb brackets (not nearly as nice as Stooges, but they are
functional).

Note: I did use a small 4-pot Stooge bracket to mount the Steiner pcb by
orienting the narrow pcb from the corner to diagonal corner, and removing
the portion of the bracket containing the lowest pot hole. Also room for
a CGS small dc mixer to mix frequency and input cv attenuation.
Just $.02, Jeff
