MOTM

I've bought some modules from Scott myself. And I heartily recommend
his services/items to everyone. I'll buy more from him if and when he
has new stuff I want.

Now having said that, Scott's panels are, by his own admission, close
but not exact. MOTM "format" is different from MOTM "look". In many
ways I prefer Brideschamber's "look". The font, for example, is easier
for me to read. But nevertheless, they are not as close to Paul's old
panels as Stooge's were (at least to my eyes).

Robert was asking for a "true" MOTM-esq panel, and as far as I can see,
only Doug is on record for attempting to keep the Stooge "look" going.
But unfortunately he's been pre-occupied (the details of which I am not
familiar - I'm only inferring from what he has posted on his web site).
Months ago I sent him a huge list of panels I'd like to buy from him.
But that's been close to a year now.

(Hey Doug - if you're reading this, I hope your condition is not too
serious and you are getting better.)

I haven't seen one of Doug's panels yet, so I don't know how close his
will ultimately be. As soon as I get one, I'll know. In the meantime,
I'll have a chance to see one of Paul's new panels soon enough (probably
in front of the Cloud Generator). Once I see the new "look," it might
turn out that Scott's panels are well within the variation range that
I'll have to learn to live with.

As an aside, I've got enough MOTM modules across several generations to
verify differences in MOTM's own paint. It is really noticeable. I've
got some panels whose texture is a lot smoother than others. You can
really see the difference when they are side-by-side. Scott's paint
texture fits in the middle of the two extremes, and is more uniform.
The sputtering on Pauls panels can run from somewhat fine to quite
coarse. Scott's lettering font, however, is very different and very
apparent.

Those are my observations,
-Greg

I think you are missing something.  I don't know about Doug, but
Scott Deyo is currently producing a large number of panels in MOTM
format.  In fact, this past week I received a panel and bracket for
the CGS Tube VCA based on a design I suggested in August.  While the
font used for its lettering is slightly different, the paint looks
the same as the Stooge and Synthesis Technology panels.  Even the
holes are painted.  I'm very happy with it.
