MOTM kit.   I suspect Paul would be to busy to do this sort of thing, but it
would be nice to be able to order small volume MOTM specialty parts. I
wouldn't mind paying a little extra to not have to order 300 of part xyz.
Anyone up for it?

This Stooge is really over-committed right now.  While this sounds like a
decent idea.  It woudl be a LOT of work.  I suspect whoever wants pick it up
and run woud need more than 15% to make it worth while.

However, having said that, it is nice that occassionally, someone does pick
up the ball for specific parts like this.  I have some of th bi-colored LEDs
for my own use because of a group buy somone on the list did.  I have done
the same thing for rotary switches and pointer style knobs.  Somone else did
the pointer style knobs too before me.

So, instead of trying to put together a "parts you need kit" for XX number
of different possibilities, I think the best approach is to buy a particular
part to share with others.  It has to be either a part with a minimum
entrance quantity (liek the LEDs) or one with siuch a significant price
per-unit (maybe nice 100K pots) as to overcome the cost of double shipping
charges.
