4U 100 and 200 Series Modules

I own some 200 series format modules so I do builds and repairs for others.  I did build the 266 Source Of Uncertainty, Lopass Gate, and the Pulser, Cross Fader, and Timbre generator functions in 5U format modules for my system with modifications for MOTM-signal levels.  I also have my own 208 Music Easel and built a 36U slant cabinet for my other 200 series modules.  There is good historic Buchla reference material at www.fluxmonkey.com/historicBuchla/BuchlaIndex.htm

I've started a spreadsheet of module power consumption. I have measured some and consolidated comments I've found on various forums from others including Jim Fowler and Steffen Ahmad.
