Dear all, 

Sorry for the cross posting. My name is Gregg and I am a fan of 
frequency shifters (even though I have only tried d*g*t*l versions so 
far). I was recently very impressed with the price, specs and demos 
of the new Encore Electronics frequency shifter available here: 

http://www.encoreelectronics.com/ 

The only problem is I use Frac Rack compatible modules (Blacet, Wiard 
1200, and Synthmodules.com). Whilst the power supply wouldn't be a 
problem, mounting it would. I would very much like to see a good 
frequency shifter in Frac Rack format, as there are currently none 
availble (unless you want to get into diy and build or mod your own, 
which i don't have the skills to do). 

Therefore I decided to contact Tony at Encore and see if he would be 
willing to produce it in Frac Rack format, here is what he said: 

"The problem is the Frac Rack is much shorter than MOTM and would 
require a 
completely different layout. Basically it would require a completely 
new 
physical redesign. I would do it if I could have 40 people pre-pay a 
deposit 
for it. If you could drum up that many people, let me know... 

Regards, 
Tony" 

So, what say you? Would you be willing to pre-pay a deposit for one? 
I know I would. At the moment I don't know what kind of response this 
will get, or how much the unit would cost if it really happens, 
although I am assuming it would be a similar price to the MOTM format 
one which is currently available. 

If you would be interested then I would like to know! I will start 
collecting names, and if we can get to 40, then I can get back to 
Tony with the good news! Please let me know on list, or off:
