Modular Synth Panels

I have TWO of these rare modules in MOTM format for sale. I haven't
used them much in the past few years and would rather use the space
for something else. Both are in excellent condition with no
significant rack rash. Includes original documentation, power cable,
Stooge panel, and all the mods listed here:

Note the bit about having to momentarily insert a jack into the GATE
jack on power up; it applies to both of the ones I am selling.

Some pics:

Asking $300 USD for each one, USPS/Canada Post shipping included.
Paypal only. Items will be shipped from Canada, if that matters to you
for customs purposes.

Email me privately (off list) if interested. Thanks.

I've created an FPD file for my monitor/tuner utility module. I
printed it out on paper and glued it to my plastic panel. It doesn't
look too bad (as a temporary solution). Scroll to the bottom of this
page to see some pictures:

One time I was building a module with the same hole pattern as a MOTM
panel I had replaced and had lying abandoned in my parts box. While
waiting for the FPD panel to arrive, I printed out and pasted the paper
design onto the MOTM panel and had a stand-in. It works because the
print format is full size.

I've done the same for two modules. I increase the panel size about 1/4" to make sure I have plenty of overlap and print the panel on an ink-jet printer. I turn the label over and mark the four corners on the back. I use spray adhesive on the front of the panel, and then pick it up and place it on the back of the label. I use a knife to trim off the paper all around the edge of a panel. I use a black sharpie to color all the edges, then trim out the holes. I then give it 2 - 3 coats of spray lacquer which gives it an overall orange peel finish so it looks quite close to a painted panel. The white legends aren't quite as bright but it is hard to tell the difference.

I think if you were to modify the panel and use 0.4mm engravings the legends would be more bright.

Pictures of my panels are on my site.

The 566VCO was on a blank panel that I pre-drilled

The Neil Johnson was over a spare MOTM panel

Both panels are good enough that I probably won't ever upgrade them.

The first time I tried this, the text didn't look very good (it was
too thin using the 0.2mm engraving tool). I then redid all the text
and line graphics using the 0.4mm engraving tool and that's what you
see in the TLN-867 example. I haven't tried using spray lacquer, but
I'll give it a shot on the next one. I also bought some thicker ink-
jet paper (HP 180g glossy brochure paper) that doesn't bleed as much
as the cheap stuff. It's not photo-paper, but it seems to work quite
well and doesn't leave frayed edges after trimming.
