Grant,

This is an awesome idea! Can you tell us something about the new 1200 designs? =)

Cheers,

Subject: [wiardgroup] Possible idea to continue some Frac-Rac mechanical faceplate support

Josh and I discussed the idea of modifying the existing Frac-Rack faceplate designs to fit the Malekko Euro-rack PCBs.

This would allow continued support of the Frac-rac format.

The modules would have to change. The faceplates have to be much thinner, so the blue engraved style can not be done.

But the black style can still be supported. Josh would be happy if I took care of the Frac-racs and let him concentrate on the Euro-rack.

There are more designs in the 1200 series, that have never been released. They will be released in Euro-rack format. There are at least 4 more modules in the series.

If people can deal with the faceplate issues (less than perfect aesthetics, black only) the possibility exists to make things easy for Frac-rac people to get the existing and new designs with Frac-rac faceplates and +/- 15V power connectors.

Prices would be like before ($300) because of the small run size (expect 25 is limit of market size).

Any positive comments on the idea? Please, no snide remarks, this is something I would do as a favor to my existing Frac-rac customers because business wise, it makes no real sense.

But keeping the fun going and supporting my customers is worth it to me.
