Blacet-MOTM adaptor

Blacet-MOTM adaptor

2000-06-15 by John E Blacet

Hello MOTMites! ;)

Some folks were interested in something like this:

http://www.blacet.com/BlacetMOTMadap.gif

This would allow you to place a Blacet module in the cutout and add up
to 8 1/4" jacks on the bottom. There is a white SS over the jacks so you
can presstype or mark the jack functions. They would look pretty much
like a MOTM panel. I need to see some finish samples at the shop to make
sure.

Doepfer looks like a fit vertically (new mounting holes), but width
wise, you would have to remove a bit of material (~0.1"?).

I got a quote back today from the metal shop. They would be $18 each.

Comments? Orders? (It's about a $1000 investment, so definite preorders
in reasonable quantities are a must. Delivery is 4-5 weeks.)

Regards.

My MOTM DarkStar - (was Blacet-MOTM adaptor)

2000-06-19 by Dave Bradley

I thought the purists on the list would enjoy a quick pic of my MOTM
DarkStar. Over the weekend I received the first batch of panels back from my
silkscreener. The print quality is quite alot sharper than my crappy
digicamera shows. In fact, it looks just like a real MOTM module, except for
the two screw heads visible to hold the bracket (Paul, you should offer
blank panels WITH studs!!!)

I am getting ready to send my panels here locally and do MOTM DarkStars. If
anyone is interested, please let me know. You or Paul will have to send me
MOTM 2U blank panels for screen printing as I don't have any extras.

Cheers!
Todd

Hey Moe! I think your panel looks great! I'd like to hear more about how this
process is going. Will this "service" be available to other MOTM listers?
Roughly how much will this be costing you per panel?

As for John Blacet's idea of the "panel in a panel," at first I though it was
kind of neat, but not the way I'd go. Then I realized that it would still be
a good idea.

Suppose one was to get a Blacet module which doesn't have (nor will likely
ever have) a close MOTM cousin like the Time Machine VC BBD module. It seems
to me that both a Blacet kit and a MOTM kit take about the same amount of
time to assemble, but if there are no MOTM size front panels available for
this module, one needs to diy one of these -- which would take a long time.
So as a short term solution to this problem, the Blacet/MOTM adapters would
be great -- I'd probably get a couple of them for the temporary solution.
MOTM-Blacet Time Machine, hmmm......

I don't want to say more before plans firm up, but several of us are talking
with a goal to setting up a service for MOTM diyers, which provides high
quality silkscreened front panels. You may be sure that the Time Machine
will be one of the first available, cause I have one on order myself<g>!

Don't ask me about prices just yet. We have to come up with a fair way of
recovering the cost of the original screen over time, based on estimating
how popular a panel might be, etc. Probably would have to set up a web page
somewhere, showcasing all the available designs.

Please note, just having a nice front panel is NOT going to turn your
project into a MOTM kit! There will typically be other hurdles in
construction and/or electronics mods to fit a Blacet or whatever other
design into the MOTM format.

And, (correct me if I am wrong Dave) this screening is to be done on Paul's
regular blank MOTM panels that he sells. So, this is screening only for
those that want screened panels for stuff Paul does not sell. You still
need to buy the blank panels from Paul.

You are correct sir!
