Subject: [dotcomformat] Woggling..first the pc boards, then the components, then the front panels?

I put in for 2 of those pc boards, now the question is how long a wait
are we in for? And what of the front panels? Doing this the way I
envision it is to go ahead and burn the 5 w of space and add some
patch points along the way. I feel bad for not buying this from Grant
Richter, and I know I'm gonna miss the beautiful "Magic Graphics" that
his unit has. Too bad his stock dual-Wooglebug is a 6U high panel! No
way in heck
that will fit into a dotcom case.

Components are easy for me, All Electronics is like 2 miles from my
pad and then there's Apex Electronics Surplus 5 miles away - so I
probably won't need Mouser, etc.

The other topic is the two additional ring modulators needed for the
child tones. I noticed that Ken Stone is still selling his "true ring
modulator" circuit boards at $30 apiece - this might be the ticket! It's
not super cheap, but it's a quick solution, and from the looks of it
housing the two of them with some op-amps of buffering and gain should
be simple in terms of making them fit. I could just build some I guess..

Cheers!
