MOTM

Folks,

Larry is getting bombed by requests for Stooge panels for the 
Wiard/Blacet MiniWave. Here is the status:

John sent me some info today which will allow me to proceed with the 
panel design (thanks!)

Larry and I are in the midst of a large order already. We must decide 
if it's best to stop everything and add this in, or go full speed 
ahead with the current order, and start a second order for the MW 
panels. I favor the latter approach. A second order would proceed 
much quicker than the first did because we don't have to deal with 
metal issues again.

Larry is going on vacation tomorrow, so he won't be able to reply to 
messages for about a week. The lucky bastard is taking a 
motorcycle trip.

I do have to make one design decision on the layout - whether to 
place the LEDs in a row at the top of the module, as I did for my 
Wiard version:

crummy pic)

or to place the LEDs as on the Wiard/Blacet layout:

I don't think that keeping the Blacet format will allow me to mount 
the LEDs onboard the pcb, because the pcb will set back from the 
panel to allow the pots to mount outboard. So you probably will have 
to wire each LED separately, for either layout.

If you prefer one layout over the other, email me privately - I'll 
take a mini poll.
