Echo PLEX LOL! Re: [sdiy] plexiglass panels for modular?

[Happy Harry]

There was a synth called (iirc) The Gleeman Polyphonic, which
was available in a clear case....

Also note that if you MOLDED the plastic case... it need not
be weak, scratch easily, etc.

Injection molds for a synth case might go for as little as
$20K - $50K...

Hmmm... I'd have the Curtis chips redone first...
