 David,

 Has anyone actually spec'd the total cost of building that version?

PC board X2 = $30US + s/h  (send an envelope with bubble wrap? uhuh)
front panel X2 = $100US + s/h (more bubble wrap?)

parts? (heh..I'll guess it comes to over $200) ;) So maybe $330
plus the cost of the additional ring modulators?

 So..two of the circuit boards, then two panels, two sets of pots
and knobs, two sets of 1/4" sockets, AND THEN, you need two additional
ring modulators. (could be just a cheap diode bridge and a pair of
LM72 op-amps I guess for I/O buffering..) I haven't seen a complete
dual Wooglebug made from the boards being offered in the group buy,
has anyone?

Oh, and another item: How much is the s/h for those PC boards? The
website only shows s/h for Europe. Weird!

 Keep in mind; this version is going to be BIG...it will take up a
minimum of 4w for the Wooglebugs, then another 1w for the dual ring 
modulators, so it's a 5w "module" in this approach.
