MOTM

Actually I was thinking about this as well.  It is possible that we
could redesign the stooge flat rails to accommodate a 1.5U option.  I
would have to play around with it, but I don't see any reason that it
could not be done.  I would think Paul S. could redesign the 19A rack
rails as well.

Prices might have to be a little higher, there would be more holes to
drill and tap, so more labor involved.

I'll look into this.

Stooge Paul

You know, I was thinking the same thing just a few days ago, inspired by
the
same Tellun double row panels.  A 1.5 wide module would likely enable
two
rows of PKES70 knobs, .855 inch in diameter, compared to 1.01 for PKES90
MOTM standard and .748 for PKES60 "Encore" size.  The PKES70 seems like
a
good knob size compromise, though the extra panel mounting holes for a
1.5U
panel might be unsightly since there won't be mounting rail holes for
offset
screws.
