hello all,
you can't believe how close i was to doing this. a government surplus depot
down in nottingham had an old 30s/40s/50s telephone operators console, gpo
retracting cables everything, about the size of an upright piano, i knew as
soon as i saw it that this was the only stylish way of patching my growing
modular - fortunately, the beast wasn't for sale, i mean it was huge, and as
you correctly point out unpractical as hell, but damn stylish
funnily enough i'm off down there on saturday - on a joystick raid (aviation
or otherwise)
meanwhile, back in the real world - i made up a rough patch sheet for my
motm, so if i come across anything unusual, it's just a case of drawing
lines and marking knob positions

cheers
