MOTM

While not the most popular view, I vote to make the 200 series as Buchla as 
possible, in both look and sound (sound being the most important).  I say go 
all out.  Keep the panel size format the same as MOTM, but make them bare 
aluminum with blue silkscreening, with graphics.  It would cool to see 
similar if not exactly the same knobs as well, red and blue of different 
sizes.  Put the jacks and knobs in the same places as the Buchla modules.  
For the LP Gate, put them in that cool diagonal layout with all the lines.  
Of couse, the mechanical and electronic standards should conform with the 
rest of MOTM: sealed pots, Switchcraft jacks, etc.  While I think banana 
jacks are cool, I don't see any reason to put them on these modules for 
flexibility reasons.

If this is going to far, and the panels must remain black and white, then at 
the very least I'd like to see knob, switch, and jack placement similar to 
the Buchla.  Maybe there are some knobs out there that are similar in style 
to the MOTM standard (black with metal disc insert) but a different size and 
shape, maybe with a larger skirt or something (Maybe one of the other style 
of Alco knobs).  In any case, even if these end up in the grid format like 
all other MOTM modules, I'd probaby still buy some.
