Hi Stuka,

I currently have 6 Foogers racked and plan to build a second rack soon.

I'm using a low-cost Table Top Rack Stand ($29.95) and 2 Fooger Rack Kits:
http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/TableRackStd/
http://moogmusic.com/products/accessori ... -mount-kit

As you correctly speculated, it is difficult to plug into all of the CV and Audio
jacks of the three lower Foogers.

Here's my trick:

On the lower set of Foogers, I simply put a pair of rubber grommets in between the
top holes of the Mounting Kit and the Rack Rails before I inserted the rack screws.
The end result is that the lower three Foogers are tipped outward just enough that
you can now access all of the jacks without scraping the Foogers above them.

If you're only racking three Foogers for now, this may or may not work for you
depending on the shape of the gear above them. But you may be able to do it by
adding a few more rubber grommets to each side.

Yea - thanks for sharing this idea!

It might come in handy when my rackmount kits finally arrive.
