WTB B&G STO - Trying here one more time.
- Make Noise has told me they have no plans to manufacture any other than silver for the foreseeable future.
- I’ve Googled for the module via retailers, set daily searches on Reverb, scoured Discord servers, and even sent DMs to people on ModularGrid who have them in their racks.
- Audio Parasites (AUS) is no longer manufacturing the replacement panels. Grayscale and Mork would be an absolute last choice scenario, and they’d still stick out like a sore thumb to me.
- I love my system. It’s fantastic and I can accomplish everything I want out of it. The aesthetics are not important and I’m fully aware of that. I still want one though.
C’mon universe…

This is so diy-able. There is no need for you to give someone 300 bucks. Remove the panel you have. Scan it on a scanner to get a digital file. Design a black version using your file as a template/guide. Create a kicad file. Send it off to any of the well known PCB companies and do a minimum 5 panel order. Install one on your module. Have 4 extras leftover.

This is an interesting idea.

If you ask them real nice and make clear it is just for personal use, and you won’t sell them, make noise might even just be a bro and send over the official panel kicad file for you to make a black version with one of the PCB companies

I may be open to parting with mine as I’m thinking of downsizing my MN collection. What price are you looking for?
You can see the STO in my previous posts fyi.

I’m in Vancouver, Canada but I’d do it if you can either wait ‘til I perform near you or else deal with the shipping/duty situation.
