Subject: Re: MOTM 19" wide

From: "Tentochi" <tentochi@...
Date: 1999-07-08

Lots of Switchcraft jacks!!! Aluminum!!! 1U only!!! No bends!!! No
additional screws visible on front panel. Have the shop work up a 19" 1U
panel and see how it acts. The lots of jacks should stiffen it a little. A
welded crossmember is the best solution for me for support.

What will the DC source do for me?

CV control knobs? X-Y Joysticks? Trigger buttons? Two different types of
panels, but fabricated the same way to get cost down and have people buy
more?
