They punch everything else I buy. I will inquire. But, I don't get the
metal from the either. I am also guessing the minimum order would be
significant too. But, I will ask.

I can tell you that in my cabinet design, you cannot get to the back of the
magic busses. That is why they pull out from the front with only 3 screws.
I am sure there are other ways. But, I wasnted to pull them out for
changes. I don;t anticipate dial-a-bus changes. But, after I use it for a
few montsh, I might learn that my module arrangement dictates a more
efficient combination.

Cha-ching !! Man, I can retire from the electric company early now
<snicker>. I do hope it works out that I ca get him to make more. If not,
I do have 2 more guys in mind that do the same quality work.

You know, that almost seems like sacrelig. Copying SOD would be like
stealing one of Paul's circuit designs. Perhaps Dave's design could be
licensed to the cabinet maker and we could forward to Dave some generous
amount for each cabinet made. How about 38 cents each Dave? That is about
ho much they really paid the three stogges as the networks and studio were
getting rich off them.
