Hi folks,
  Dave here in WV...I'm new to the group and just wanted to introduce
myself...
  I am currently waiting on a shipment of MOTM modules in kit form
and will be building a custom case using thick UV glow plexiglass.
I'll also attempt to cover each knob with a laser-cut UV glow
plexidisc in 4 different colors according to module function. 1/4"
cables will be sleeved with UV tubing with heatshrink on the ends to
prevent fraying...I'll keep you posted on this nuclear reactor...

  Any other UV
glow ideas? Hit me up!

Can anyone please tell me:

  *If* an oscilloscope is needed to test my assembled MOTM modules, 
what is the least expensive, but decent model to buy?

  Are the 4-pin power connectors for this brand of modules 
called "Molex" connectors?  If so, can I connect those crazy custom 
PC accessories to them at the same time?  If I may, will they create 
any noise in the final signal?

  Is there any *serious* risk in using plexiglass for the module 
cabinet concerning static electricity?

Is that your final answer?

Thanks in advance...
-Dave

Royal Air Force fighter planes used UV visable instrument 
markings for night flying during WWII. If you shine a UV light on a 
Synthi or Putney, the knob pointer glow from the UV ink because 
they are military surplus knobs. The strange things your find out 
on tour.

The UV visable thing is a great idea. There was a DJ mixer for 
sale with UV visable ink. Can't remember the brand, Roland 
maybe.

Note that Grant didn't mention the first run of the 300 Series Wiard modules,
which also had UV visable ink for the labeling.
