Thanks demik. I should be making a third version which should be close to final. Now that I can cut screws at whatever length I need, I think I have most of the final pieces I need. Now, if I could find 4-40 lock nuts in black color, I will be golden!
TheProfosist, great idea! Now, I think PLU is 95% Filco in design (except with crappy PCB and only 2, 3KRO). But I don't think we are certain that PLU is 100% compatible. When will you receive your PLU? When you receive your PLU, will you be able to open up a Filco and put the Filco innards inside the PLU case? Then we will for sure know that they are compatible or not.
How much is shipping? That is a good price in that you get a case, switches, stabilizers, *and* an ANSI 1.25x plate. PLU is plate-mount, is it?
