- I have a question, When you used Metalphoto did they offer you an an adhesive backed overlay ? It looked like a great approach to putting a panel on something, you could put it on plexi, aluminum or laminated bamboo or some other material green or not. They offered to place them on pre drilled panels and they are way cheaper than the pure painted metal panels.
- I was also looking at getting a small CNC system that could possibly mill out small circuit boards. Therre is a lot of cool stuff that we need just a few of. It could collectively work out to great savings to us all. What if only 20 wanted a multimode noise generator and some had laid one out, instead of some iffy home etching it was done properlhy without having to have and industial minimum run off. I made a dog ID at a Wal Mart with a machine that looked like floating dremel and my early ZVex FX were milled pcbs ( Vex is green)
- I find myself buying pcb mount swtches because thery can be found cheap. I have taken to mounting them on perf board and putting headers on them and honestly they are tidier and more predictable thatn wiring up to loop contacts on switches. It made penultimate sense when I was working on the Klee and the MFOS sequencer and the ASM2. Wait for the ASM3 guys. Too bad the pot chiclets are laid out different I would those instead of perf.
Say Deyo don't you owe me a favor? And don't you have 250 of those dp3t switches too ? :)
∗∗ Check out the specs on the forthcoming ASM3. It is for serious modular synth users.It is not as powerful as the big modularswe are cranling out but if you want a machine to take out of the studio without worrying about losing your lifes's work. It's fucking cool, kudos to Laurie Elby. He and Scottneed to get togetherand takeover the world.
