Synthisist wise, formicasize!

Synthisist wise, formicasize!

2001-02-21 by jar5831

The rugged EML 101's had a fine wood cabinet that was formica on the outside! (dark mahogony colored) looked just as good as wood and rugged as hell..i had one..i traded it to Mark Glinsky for one of his genuine 1968 model 955 prototype Moog ribbon controllers (coincidently made of some kind of red wood with white formica on top!)..a win win deal for both of us...it outputs +/- 6 volts..a 12 octave range!! not like those bloody toy 3 inch midi psuedo ribbons on modern midi rice box machines,HA!

Subject: [motm] Speaking of Wood Cabs...


Can anyone suggest a type of wood to use for my cabinet? It's
getting aroung the time that I need to build this thing so I'll be
looking for the supplies that I need before too long.

I seem to remember someone mentioning that a wood that is too dense
(?) has a tendency to warp. That scares me! I'd hate to invest all
the effort to build the cabinet only to find that it warps a year
later.

Times like this make me wish I would have snuck out of my high
school electronics shop class and into woodshop class a few
times... : )
