I'm trying to order 2 of the Frac-Rack joysticks, but there's been no reply for more than a week to my emails. I've even already sent the $ via Paypal, but still no answer. Is Grant on vacation or something? I really don't want to miss out on getting these. Thanks, Mike Fun

Well personally I would like to have it on a blazer as well with a matching kilt of the Wogglebug clan... I just got my order in for a pair of Joystick/trigger units (the older version not the discontinued version with dual Joysticks/triggers, meter and multiple jacks). You all s

If you want a +10 V max. output, remove resistor R14 (2K). You can just clip it off the top side of the pc board. Paul S. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com

One must remember the mantra of those two (Doepfer and to a certain extent, Analogue Systems although there are instances when AS doesn't). They make for the large part single channel modules that do one thing and one thing only. Doepfer has some duals (but of explicite single fu

I've seen photographs of both Serge and MOTM modules in SKB pop-up cases. Buchla modules are quite shallow, also. I would suspect that all the 3U Euro-rack formatted systems fit in as well. Wiard modules are 6U high, not 5U. BTW I've never heard of a case with an odd U number (wo
