No means No.  But we are offering options that Peter might not have
though of.  He stated NO due to the cost of the MOTM panels done the way
MOTM does them.  However, if the size is a match but NOT the panel
graphics, and/or the panels are done like Modcan B or Synthesizers.com
using bends, they may be much less expensive.  Modcan & .com use much
thinner aluminum and the bends provide the support.  Thinner aluminum
also reduces the need for pots and jacks with overly long mounting
threads.  Hopefully, Peter would NOT use the overpriced Spectrol or
Bournes pots that MOTM uses.  Even MOTM is feeling the pain now as these
parts copntinue to climb in price.  I can replace one MOTM pot 4 or 5
times at current prices using alpha pots (and they have a better feel
IMHO).

I am committed to 1/4" jacks.  I've broken too many 1/8" jacks to ever
consider them in a modular system.  I have some Blacet modules using the
Blacet-to-MOTM adapter panel, but that is now discontinued!  What a
PITA!

So maybe, in offering alternatives, we will come up with something that
works financially for Peter and for the rest of us.  If not, then the
answer is still no.
