Woggling..first the pc boards, then the components, then the front panels?
2007-10-02 by Erik Karl Sorgatz
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! -Erik
