Howdy --- So, I've decided to get a Blacet/MOTM Miniwave. Is there anyone on this list who would gather the parts and assemble one for me, for a fee of course? It has to be the MOTM version with the panel from Larry Hendry. Too busy to do it myself, right now... - Dana Please reply privately at: dana@danacountryman.com

Hi Scott I'd love one too (after I've paid for the 960 series!)...but don't have the experience to build a kit. Maybe we can all get together and get a .com panel made? I'd have some spare $$ in september. Steven

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?

Hi all Continuing this from a while back... My friend has bought an engraving machine so I've decided to build the motm miniwave kit myself and make a dotcom engraved panel (maybe even black lettering on white...) My questions: 1. Is the miniwave a good first kit to build ie not too dificult? 2. Does it come as a complete kit similar to the motm's that I've seen - as well labeled etc? 3. If I make a complete mess, or stop half way through (something I seem to do in life) can I just send it off to you Scott for the $100 special? 4. Does anyone else want a dotcom engraved panel? Once we make the graphic it'll be very easy to make more... Thanks Steven > Hi guys... > > Wow! I didn't expect such a response...but it isn't more than I am willing > to do.

Steve, no problem if you get stuck, I can finish it for you. However, I doubt if you will get stuck. It really sin't hard to build. The boards that Blacet use are very forgiving. They are coated and easy to solder. The instructions are very concise and easy to follow. I have built a lot of kits and DIY projects, and Blacet stuff is among the best of the lot, in my opinion. If engraving doesn't work, or you change your mind, let me know. I'm just now setting up a new art positive for a fellow Dotcommer's Miniwave panel. Once I have done that, I will keep the screen around so that I can easily run off Miniwave panels as needed. Seems a waste to keep ONLY a MiniWave on the big screen. I can put another panel on there with room to spare. I wonder what are other popular Blacet kits to Dotcom'ize? maybe Stonz? Filthy Filter? Ooooh, maybe Frequency Divider!

What material were you thinking of engraving on? And- what type of engraver did your friend buy? I've done engraving (including laser-engraving) for many years, on all sorts of materials... and rigidity is going to be a factor... esp. it being used to patch in & out of. Usually, engraving onto material that is an unknown... like a painted aluminum blank, it is wise to try it out on a 'sacrifice' piece to determine if it's gonna work, and if so, how well.At one time, I thought of reverse-engraving on some thick plexi... flaming the edges, and painting the backside of the plex one color (black or white) (or even leaving it clear) and painting the engrave graphics & lettering another color. I also had thought about using a 3-D laser-engraver, so you could have raised letters and graphics. I decided against that because basically, unless you do the entire system that way, it'll look very odd.... and no matter what, to do an entire system is going to be a whole lotta work. I just don't think that no matter what engraving method used, that one engraved module is going to match all of the other modules that have been silkscreened... well, I'll be surprised if it does.~Morbius~----- Original Message -----Sent: Sunday, September 25, 2005 4:38 PMSubject: [dotcomformat] Re: More Miniwave ChatHi all
