Metro-Modular Power supply - Module 601 - Der Todliche Finger - The Deadly Finger

This panel was designed to hold the power supply of the Metro-modular 4U system.

It's basically a drop-in Buchla PSU. If you have a Buchla passive box, this is ideal for adding power.

Metro-Modular  are from Sydney Australia. They will be releasing some new modules during SuperBooth 19. This is being held in Berlin, Germany right now.

The 601 is the first panel in the series. 

....die jugend finden sie schlecht, besonders
Long hoarige  & Dienstverweigerer denn..

I don't speak German but I think this roughly translates to

"they find the youth bad, especially long-haired and non-conscientious"

The comic is from Hotcha, Switzerland, 1970.

...

The psu has 667ma on both the +15 and -15 rails, and 1.5 A on the +5V rail.

The name is a reference to the PSU having four edge connector “fingers” on the main board allowing direct connection to Buchla-style polarised edge connectors. Input is +12V from a standard barrel connector with a 2.5mm positive centre pin made by Cincon, and a second connector is provided for daisy-chaining several boats to the one “brick”

The name is also a reference to Stereolab’s favourite underground comic, where a conformist in the place of the reader is eventually bumped off by the accuser in the comic. It’s a reminder to me as a designer, and you as the user, that the best way to honour 4U Modular’s radical roots is to make innovative things, and not fall back on cliche.”(Justin B.H.)
