Re: Fitting 300 Series into a Frac

2006-11-21 by schierld

John--thanks! i just took a look at the back of that modular...yeah,
the 300 series modules would extend, oh, about 3.5" past the back of
the fracracks. 

re: panel: actually, most of my faceplates are printed w/ a color
laserprinter, laminated, and stuck onto the aluminum panel with
double-sided tape. this works, and looks much better than it probably
should...cheap but functional (dan=college student) (the imagery is
just a photoshopped version of the scan of the wogglebug faceplate
from the Wiard site. don't tell Grant, tho).

best,
dan
