Re: [motm] Suggestion for MOTM Web site

Yes.  In the late 70's I assembled some Serge machines for people.  Back 
then you could order a set of modules in kit form.  The boards came 
pre-assembled.  You created your own panel layout by pasting paper overlays 
onto a generic panel and covering it with a layer of plastic, cutting holes 
with a knife for the pots, jacks and switches.  Then you just wired up the 
boards to the panel.  Serges are still available, but only completely 
assembled:

This site is interesting to browse.  I have a pretty big interest in those 
oddball circuit designs, but I don't find the product attractive.  It is 
too high-priced, not truly modular, and not available in kit form.  Boy 
would I love it if they sold just the circuits.  (Suppose if we all 
pestered them, it would start to look like a good business 
proposition?)  It would create a whole new line of Stooge panels!  But 
would Serge circuits get the MOTM seal of approval?  Err.. doubtful :-)  I 
mean, 330 ohm output impedance?  Hee hee.
