MOTM

The availability of a PC board, bare or assembled, or a partial or full 
kit was essential to my purchase decisions.  I do find some Modcan and 
Synthesizers.com modules interesting.   I just don't want to buy a fully 
assembled module in another format, strip it all apart, add a $100 panel 
and $50 worth of pots and jacks, and throw away the original panel, all 
to have a MOTM format version.  I would have to be really, really 
attracted to a module that was available in no other form, and that 
hasn't happened yet.

The original topic on this thread was about going the other way:  
reformatting MOTM modules into a Modcan panel format.  It's a similar 
question.  If this were done, you would have a unique looking modular, 
and you would have expended a lot of time, money and effort.  To each 
his own.
