Modifications:  Beautiful Stooge Panel

I was lucky to come into posession of an original Stooge panel for the Binary Zone.  I’ve built it exactly as per the panel design, with the MOTM LED and the big, red pushbutton.  I was not able to find center-detent pots of the type needed here, which figure into the mounting of the panel to the bracket.  So, I won’t be able to precisely null out the stages.  I don’t anticipate a problem, though, because, in combination with an external pulse divider, the Reset input can be used to shorten the cycle to just the number of divisions I want.  Here’s a photo of the construction.

I was asked for a Front Panel Express panel equivalent of the Stooge panel for the Binary Zone.

Here it is for download.  Binary Zone FPD Panel

Be aware that the LED hole is 5/16″ for the Lumex LED part that is MOTM standard.  And the hole for the push button is very large, just shy of a half inch diameter.   You can modify these for your LED and push button, if needed.
