[sdiy] plexiglass panels for modular?

[Gene Stopp]

I used plexi on my first modular (Moog 35 look-alike) back in 1975. Big
black sheet, auto pinstriping tape and rub-on letters, with matte clear
sprayed over it for protection. It worked pretty good but it was a lot of
trouble. Although the modular is still in fine condition, I never used plexi
again.

Plexi has a special mood-sensing ingredient that causes it to shatter into
pieces when you're 99.9% finished with your drilling.

Best Regards,

- Gene

Hey Ed I cannot think of ANY other Synth builder (aside from Don) who used
plex for their products...?

(There Must be a reason)?

However if you want some really groovy inspiration look at this...
