Doepfer

I did made holes in the A199 reverb to put RCA out and also add switch for CV1 on A110... 
and I'm not such of a DIY guy...

I just used a dremel like machine, the one that was there my father kept and used for 
everything in the house for years...

I did block the panel in a drill table

AND I WENT FOR IT safely

no problem


A_Best,
