Re: [dotcomformat] More Miniwave Chat

Hi guys...

Wow!  I didn't expect such a response...but it isn't more than I am willing 
to do.  Here's what i can do...if you guys send me the kits and the blank 
panels, I can take it from there.  It seems like enough people want these 
that I may just order a few blanks from Roger and keep them around.  There 
will be a bit more supplies needed, such as 1/4" jacks and the 50k pots, 
plus the mounting materials (I have made my own large "L" brackets for 
these.  I may do that for yours too, or an "L" shaped plate.

The kits take around a day to solder up, and the panels take a day or less 
to print and drill.  Yeah, it is as easy to print a few at a time as it is 
to print one.  My own MiniWave graphic has a different letter style, and is 
very "plain".  I will whip one up that matches the Dotcom format and 
spacing.  They probably won't be perfect, but they will look good, 
nevertheless.

I will need to do these from the kits...it is a pain to convert a pre-made 
Blacet module to Dotcom format, because I have to remove the PCB-mounted 
pots and LEDs.

Give me an e-mail to let me know.  As for the costs...well, figure that 
Blacet charges 59 bucks difference between kits and assembled modules.  
Plus, I'd need to get the jacks and pots (figure $1.99 to $2.50 each...total 
of around $20 for a MiniWave) and the Dotcom knobs ($4 each, total of $16).  
Let's call it, oh, a hundred bucks for the whole deal.  If that sounds good, 
drop me a line when you need one, and I'll get you my address.

For anyone simply wanting a MiniWave MOTM, just send me the kit (with panel 
and such) and it'll be $60+shipping to assemble (same as if you bought an 
assembled Blacet).  Sound fair?
