Hi ALL

new poster saying Hi,

Ive had a Elektor for about 10 years when a spanish friend gave me his 
childhood project.. sucker... think cos he thought i would get more 
use out of it than him. Well, I fixed it up so it worked, many wires 
had come unstuck, and working from a Spanish manuel, got MOST of it 
working.. (one VCF remains stubborn, but I have the 24 db one working 
so who cares?)The whole thing is a sensitive creature however, 
crcrackles and pops all over the shop...

And that is how it has remained until NOW!

So BIG clean up is job number one... 

I guess you might wanna see what Im talking about.. THEN you should 
realise what I have in mind for my baby.

Not very pretty huh? The panels are photocopies stuck on wood, and 
painted with laquer. Probably looked GREAT when it was first done, now 
the wood is all bent..

So gonna buy a SKB and do a simple but effective rack mount job.
( I know all you modular heads like this wood cabinet look, but I 
actually gig and INTEND to gig with her.. anyway, I like SKB boxes.. 
all right? stop hassleing me!!)

Now who can help me with proper panels? got any for sale? or methods 
of production. I have checked out the Scheaffer tool, but really dont 
feel like all those hours of plotting the design...

any ideas anyone...
