MOTM

OK, I think this is a "must have" for you guys that house your MOTM in the
SKB pop up mixer case.  But, YOU tell me.  I will have price quotes by early
next week.  A small photo of the prototype is attached.  Large photos and
all the details are available here:
http://www.wiseguysynth.com/larry/misc/skb.htm

Check them out and get me some feedback (questions at end of page).
Delivery could be expected around May 15.  I'll make them if you guys want
them.

Special thanks to Graham Hunter, our fellow MOTMer who has allowed me to
borrow his brand new SKB case for a completely unreasonable period of time
without complaining even once.  :)  Thanks Graham.  Your baby is on its way
home.

  Wow, I need one of these, but for 15U.  I used a cheap ratshak 'rolling 
rack' frame and added aluminum pieces to create a 3rd row:

  You've seen the 2nd pic before, but it shows the aluminum ribs I made to 
create a 3rd module row.

Well, that was meant for Larry only, but I still think a 15U back cover 
would be great. ;)

Well, maybe instead of making the back 10U tall, I should make it 5U tall
and people can use two.  The gauge of the metal is planned to 18 gauge
steel, which is almost twice as thick as the brackets I sell.  The prototype
is 22 gauge and is too flexible in my opinion.  So, 5U would be plenty
stiff.  But, without question, two 5Us will cost more money than one 10U.
It is the labor and not the material that drives the price.  How much more?
I dunno.  I'll get a quote.

All feedback welcome.  Two 5Us tall OK instead of one 10U.  Feedback that
also says "and I would buy X number of these" is especially meaningful since
I have no idea if there is enough interest to make this project fly.  I'll
make them if enough people.  I need feedback on the proposed solutions to
the "flange conflict issue" as described with the larger detail photos at:
http://www.wiseguysynth.com/larry/misc/skb.htm

Now, while some may find other uses, this is a SKB pop-up companion product.
So, I cannot make it deeper to accommodate Blacet Time Machines and other
oversized module in other racks and such.  It MUST fit the SKB case.  I'm
not saying I can't or won't do the other if enough people are interested. :)

Let me here what you have to say.  I'll having pricing soon.

Larry

  Well, that was meant for Larry only, but I still think a 15U back cover
would be great. ;)
