Well, since there has been a lull in new modules, I thought I would work on some "compatible" modules and convert them over as much as possible to the MOTM format. Obvious things are: Front Panel Pots/Knobs Jacks Difficult things (for me) are: Converting a 12v module to use the 15v MOTM PSU Hooking up power supply connector Opamps to replace with higher quality opamps Other parts which should be upgraded Connecting the PCB to the MOTM front panel I am currently working on 2 Blacet Dark Star Chaos units. Actually these boards are easier to stuff--the part numbers are sequential and easier to read on the PCB. But the instructions aren't nearly as detailed and organized. Thanks Paul! I am going to have my PCBs custom silk screened. I found an excellent silk screener that does a lot of small industrial jobs and is very sensitive about paint that is already on surface and what is good to silk screen on top of that. 5 day turnaround. Price drops dramatically for multiple parts. I am waiting until Paul returns to finish up the graphics; I want to check fonts, dimensions and other details. Is anyone else interested in having their front panel silk screened for the Dark Star Chaos? I will post more details of my experience as it unfolds... Cheers! Shemp
