Frank,

The issue has been Grant's lack of faceplates and the enormous
out-of-pocket expense of creating new ones.  Presently, certain 300
modules are on LONG wait times due to lack of 300 faceplaes, which are
cut, drilled, anodized and silkscreened.

Using the fpd file method for creating panels may eventually put 300
series modules back into regular production.   

This method was first used when converting the black 1200 series
modules into the blue, lion-faced Wiard logo modules now found on the
website.

Rather than purchasing 10 units of 8 modules' worth of metalwork (as
Grant has done in the past, laying out $100s of dollars), once a
module is converted to a fpd file, Grant will then be able to order a
faceplate for a module when an order is made.

Custom modifications and graphics are easily added, and custom panels
and installs will be much easier to accomodate.

My project with Grant to convert my Black 1200 series modules to Blue,
Lion-clad ones provided funds to do the graphic conversions for the
1200 series.

IMHO, (of course - check with Grant to be sure about this); Grant
would be most interested to find a project that would fund his time to
convert the 300 series module graphics to the fpd format.


So, that is where the 300 series is at today.
