How many out there are interested in a non-LEGO circuit board that can

How much would you spend, $20, $40, $60?

I thought about adding a potentiometer to limit the upper speed that could
be accessed with a small screw driver through a hole, that optionally could
be drilled in the base opposite the AC plug.

I also thought about an IR remote receiver. Another hole would be needed for
the IR receiver.

Any comments?

I'd be interested in a pulsed controller, but only at a fairly low price.
Also I'd want a steady 9V take-off for running my point motors.  Not so sure
about the IR, but it would be cool if the IR actually rotated the dial, like
my stereo's IR volume control!
