panel dividing

1999-07-03 by J. Larry Hendry

There has been discussion on and off about how to cause a visual division
when looking at the MOTM modules.  Some of us like that look because it
reminds us of the classic Moog appearance.  Some have said that such a
division line would help in lower lights to direct one to the right module
easier.

Paul suggested some of that thin stick-on chart tape.  I picked some up at
the local hobby shop today.  It is white, has a satin (no gloss) finish and
comes in a variety of widths.  I bought the 1/16 inch which was the most
narrow thay had.  I installed it down the right hand side of my MOTM-420. 
I must say that it really looks good and does quite a good job of making
the separation in panels VERY easy to see.

I got a roll big enough to do at least 100 MOTM modules for $1.97.  When I
installed it, I wrapped the ends of the tape over the ends of the module
face and around to the back so that when the modules are attached to a rack
rail or other case, the ends are securred and will not be prone to coming
unstuck.

Larry, you dog, you beat me to it. The local campus book store has been
closed for the holiday weekend, and I was going to try it today. Glad to
hear it looks good.

Can you post pics for the masses?

I will in the near future Dave.  I don't have a digital camera or scanner. 
So, I have to use the Kodak service on my standard film.  I'll make them
available as soon as I get it done ( unless you beat me to it of course).

And, thanks for the filter tips.
