If it's possible to run the Euro PCBs without the pots, jacks, and
switches installed, then it would save you the time and expense of
having to design and manufacture a 5U-specific PCB. It would save us
the years of waiting for you to design and manufacture a 5U module,
or alternately, the time and extra expense of having to buy your
assembled Euro modules, remove the front panel, desolder the pots,
jacks, and switches, and discard the front panel and jacks (currently
the only way to get your new modules in 5U). It's not difficult to
run wires from the PCB holes to the pots, jacks, and switches -
everyone who's built an MOTM kit has already done it. Scott could
sell kits, parts, and assembled modules. It'd be full of win for everyone.
