WTF? Surely you're talking about the MFOS kits!!!!! The CGS VCO Component Kit (that also includes PCBs) is only £33!!!

A complete kit is Composent Kit + Hardware Kit, and you can easily calculate the whole price

No no no no, don't get the hardware kit, trust me. All that stuff will be at least half the price if you get it from a shop.

Ah yes ??? Raaah, I had a photo of those kits on this website, impossible to find it !! Is there the front ?
And moog-like knobs are rather expensive !!!

Argh! I told you! The panel DOES NOT COME WITH THE KIT!

That's why there aren't any real pics of the CGS modules. It should be easy enough to make panels though.
I don't bother with any knobs half of the time, just the bare potentiometer.

Argh, no panel

But how will you do ??

:o

Buy a sheet of metal/plastic, cut it to fit, drill the knob, switch + jack holes and then either label it (easiest way) or silk screen (dunno how this is done though). You can then attach the PCB to the back with screws and fixings.

Also, I don't think the MFOS kits have panels either. I didn't get a panel with my Soundlab.

Cutting panels ? Well, easy to say not to do
