This is intended to be a resource for doing DIY, repaneling, and/or repairs on 5UMOTM systems. It's Atnot presentcomprehensive, someeveryone ofhas this information is very difficult to find or otherwise available.preferences, but Withlists the growth ofcommon/major/most-wanted interestparts in DIY for both MU andthe MOTM formats, it seems like an appropriate time to start thisformat, and/or compilewhat assort much information as possible inof athings singlewill placework.
If you have any corrections or additions to this list, feel free to make them here, or send a PM to '''diophantine''' on the MuffWiggler forum. I plan to eventually add some HOWTOs, FAQs, pictures, tutorials, and schematics. When I do that, I will likely split this out into multiple pages. For the present, while it is very much a work-in-progress, let's keep this as one page for ease of use & editing.

==Notes==
* I'm not wanting to do a list of every possible panel part or knob (everyone has preferences), but to list the common/major/most-wanted parts in these formats, and/or what sort of things will work. I'd love to eventually list the sizes and have templates/sizes for panel design too.
