All, I remember seeing pics of a MOTM somewhere (J Barlow is this you?) and inbetween the panels were moog like aluminum . . . . things. I don't want to bite your idea.. or Moog's, but it looks really good in my opinion, i'd like to know if these are genuine moog parts or what? thanks, ~Steve

Chartpak tape as others have already said. I've never considered this a long term solution, I'm just waiting until I come up with something better. I'm consumed with building a cabinet right now, designing a sequencer, and a host of other things, so I probably won't tackle it again for awhile. Some possible alternatives: 1. Paint the panel edges white. This would look professional, but would permanently make your panels nonstandard, should you ever want to sell to or swap with other MOTM owners. 2. Find a better permanent tape or vinyl stick on substitute that will not deteriorate with age. 3. Find some very thin 1/8" aluminum U channel that would slip over the edge of the module. I've seen exactly what I need in model hobby shops, but in brass instead of aluminum. You'd have to fit several modules out to see if the width increase would mess up the mounting rail spacing. This would look the most "Mooglike". I have to say that although I originally wanted aluminum, now I think the white edging looks just as sharp. It drastically increases the ability for my eyes to discern modules in a big panel full, and keeps one module from visually blending into the next.

Why not figure out a way to cleanly and uniformly file down the edges down to beneath the paint? I can't imagine it would be too difficult. Are there problems with this/considerations of which I'm ignorant? (O.k., I know I'm ignorant in many respects, so keep your comments to this situation ;)) David.
