MOTM

Ive always loved the old Moog lab looks, so these racks are my ticket!.  I
have discussed this subject very much with Larry Hendry as well. The
enclosed ones like Larrys are a bit more Like $300+, the open face ones are
about $120-150. I have 3 of the open face here. One for Midi
modules/computer monitor, one for audio (2 yamaha o1v mixers racked-effects,
patch bays, etc.), and one for modular gear now. The opens are Ok... but I
think for the MOTM you should have a enclosed cabinent to keep the dust,
etc. out. Also, with the open racks there are noticeable gaps on the left
and right ends of the rack where the rails  are. This may or may not be
different with an enclosed rack.
go here for info......

open racks:  California Chassis  or contact markertek, but expect to pay
more.
