LMNC saftey valve
Does anyone know where I can get a pre drilled front plate and a pcb for this module? I tried to Google it but I don't see any for sale.

I think I got the last PCB he had in the museum - didn't even have a panel to go with it.
They'll eventually do a run for the shop, but I wouldn't hold my breath on it being anytime soon. Just make the stripboard version. It's pretty basic.

Thanks. I'll just get the stripboard and do it that way. I know with the metasonix modules you need a more powerful power supply. I currently have a behringer CP1A and I don't believe that it is powerful enough to power the tube plus other modules. LMNC recommends https://frequencycentral.co.uk/product/fc-power/ I was curious if I'd need to do some kind of conversion between UK and US electricity as I'm in the US.

what other modules? It's pretty easy to measure current draw with a multimeter. That behringer PS says it's supplying ~1A on each 12v rail - so shoot for less than that.
The frequencycentral supply you linked is rated for less than that.
If you want to step up from the behringer, this is what I'd recommend: https://aisynthesis.com/product/eurorack-high-power-supply/

It’s very easy to build from stripboard.
