Subject: RE: [motm] Announcement - Stooge Industries

Thanks for the web page, John. I'm curious about your comment regarding HPGL files for FPE panels. Are you saying that it's cheaper to have a panel fabricated by generating an HPGL file and placing that file in the FPD file? That doesn't make sense to me, because I thought that FPE prices were basically determined (in part) by the amount of engraving done, and wouldn't that be the same regardless of how the commands to the CNC machine are generated?
 
(I've always kept my FPE costs down by not putting in the MOTM-style tick marks. I put five tick marks around the knobs and call it good enough; I tune by ear rather than eye anyway. I just did a 2U panel with 4 knobs and 16 jacks; cost was under $60.)
 
Thanks--

I too will miss Stooge Industries. Thanks to Dave (Moe), Paul H. and Larry
(Rest in Peace) for their support of our hobby over the years.

In the spirit of DIYness, I've created a web page showing some available
options. While not as convenient as Stooge Industries, the DIY ethic can
continue to thrive. I can use this site to collect any other information
that is useful for DIYers.
