MOTM

>I didn't like the Schaeffer samples I saw at Tony's site without the
tick  marks, it looked rather bland in contrast to the MOTM modules.

Bland you say, pah :-) Actually, you sort of get used to your own
format. I have more Oakley modules than the MOTM one. So the MOTM one
actually looks a little crowded compared to the more sparse Schaeffer
panel ones. The photos on my site don't really do it justice. The
Schaeffer stuff is more like Moog... and that font, the cheapest they
do, is particularly close to the Moog modular. Tick marks cost more
money of course, and since I'm tight, the ticks never got used. I did
one panel with ticks just to see how much it costed... when I recovered
from the shock, I decided the best thing to do was to leave them out.

One thing to mention here is that I use a slightly different horizontal
spacing to the MOTM spec. I use 1.625" for both the horizontal and
vertical centres. This means that the user can put the boards in
vertical or horizontal. Its doesn't really look that different, in fact,
I hadn't even noticed it until another MOTM/Oakley customer told me.

Right, back to soldering up some more patch leads... yawn! BTW: RG58
makes very cheap patch cable.
