Ok, I uploaded my **very, very preliminary** design sketch of a motm
style 4U Scheaffer panel (so you will need FrontPlatten Designer to
view it) into the cgs files section under Panel Designs - Preliminary.
For me this panel design will definitely change - it is something that I
am working on when I want to, not on a schedule. Be sure to **check
dimensions, hole spacing, ...** as I have not yet done these necessary
measurements. Also, since this is a straight forward interface, I'm in
minimalist mode at the moment (e.g., no numbering for pot rows/columns,
minimal pot tick marks).

do not accept Schaeffer designs as Front Panel Designer .fpd files do not
'conform' with the software used for Stooge panels [Larry, Dave, if I'm
wrong, correct me].
Hope this is useful to some, Jeff
