All the parts, other than the CPU which I supply, are available from 
multiple manufacturers. The pots I use are made by Alpha, but lots of 
people make pots of the same size that will do - with various knobs 
that can be used, as long as they fit.
The LCD module I use is a Powertip PC1602F, 16 x 2 backlit STN.
This may be the only module that will fit the mounting points on my 
Schaeffer panel design, but the interface itself is generic, so other 
modules will work. I guess using the Powertip part will be safest 
though.

I wasn't sure how many people would choose those switches. I 
certainly prefer them, but they do need square holes...
If anyone wants to buy a set of 25, let me know *today*, and I'll see 
about sorting out a bulk order to include with the kits.
I've got about 3 or 4 sequencers worth in stock already, so if there 
isn't too much interest, I've got it covered. 25 switches added to a 
PCB/CPU shipment will be 25ukp. Obviously you need to let me know 
right away, as I'll be shipping the kits as soon as I can get out to 
the Post Office.
