Module edge separators are the single most important addition one could make to the format, in my opinion. It makes a HUGE visibility/useability difference.

The pointer knob used on the rotary switch for the MOTM-510 WaveWarper has gone from $2.18 @ 50pcs to $4.47. For 1 freakin plastic *KNOB*. I can get a 66Mhz

My $0.02: I have a small system now, with plans to gradually grow it. I love the look of the Synthtec panels, but i would still choose MOTM over anything

Regarding module edge visibility, I find that a strong side light in a dimly lit room is very effective for delineating the edges of the modules. It looks

I totally agree with Adam here. I too have been increasingly using FPE for making panels for Tony s modules, and also for additional diy projects, mostly 19

The Stooge name stands for quality. We wouldn t want any bad looking panels getting out there. It could damage the vaunted stooge reputation. ... From:

Interesting results so far on the poll. Results are all over the place, and there are more wild folks than I would have suspected. Keep those votes coming! Moe

We are in fact trying to find a solution in terms of a way to make panels for Paul S. a few at a time. It is an unreasonable situation for us all to expect

Beginning in Jan (whenever I get the shopping cart app going), *some* modules will have a *small* price increase. This is due to suppliers raising prices

a) I think that the discussion is mainly for continuing the Stooge panels. Production MOTM panels will remain as they are (even as such a pain as they are)

I fully intend to test a variety of options, including powder coated, the present finish and anodized. I suspect that the finish will have the sharpest edges

Is there a way to test laser etching on the powder coated panel? One would think that the detail wouldn t be any worse than silk screening the powder coated

Just my thoughts, I would like to see the MOTM style be the standard from synthtech and somehow still be available for DIY. Maybe the standard could be ordered
