It's the power supply....the rails are cheap. Where is the standard power
supply with all the right connectors to plug into doepfer modules

I swear I keep repeating myself....

Hmm, even the quite expensive shop "Buerklin" (www.buerklin.com) sells
these parts for the half of the price:

Rails:
http://www.buerklin.com/gruppen/KapH/H163600.asp BN=82H350#First
-> Euro 4,80

threaded inserts:
http://www.buerklin.com/gruppen/KapH/H163900.asp BN=82H460#First
-> Euro 1,94
prices are without german VAT.

Dieter has to put some margin als on these parts, because he has to pay
the work for ordering, the storage room, and the work for delivering. I
still don't understand, why you guys don't order this stuff at any shop
for electronic parts ! What is all that fuzz around for I give a bet
that someone will come in three months and complains, why the single
rails at Doepfer are that expensive....

Hihihihiii, Dieter should offer only(!) *this* variation. The search for
the moving nuts in the rail behind the panels would be the correct
punishment for all, who complain now about prices. (insert a double evil
grin here)

Please, ask him about an arp-odyssey-style housing for a two octave
keyboard and above one row (or optional two rows) of modules.
