Hi, Put me down for full kit (inc OPL3) 2 X FM kits please! (and a SID kit if those are gonna get made into a list too : ) Thanks, SF

Hi MIDI boxers, I would like to buy up to 50 transparent ALBS Waldorf knobs, though I would settle for any number of transparent blue or red or clear ones (please see picture if in doubt of what I'm waffling on about :-) Please PM me if you got any I needz them, Love, -SpaceFIre-

This would be amazing for all those of us who missed out last time. VERY interested indeed! Please keep me abreast of any developments in availability. Thanks, -SpaceFire-

+2 here price depending, and will we see the return of the sammichFM too? :hyper:

Ok I'm a total electronics novice at all this so please forgive my blundering and i'm very pleased if you over kill your answers (I don't mind being schooled at all ;) I would like to rebuild my power supply with the latest modern components and (possibly build another 6682) therefor I would like to put a "how to" for simpletons guide with photo's on the end of this thread. Or perhaps if this guide is worthy, a whole new thread (whatever the MOD's think best) that has the latest updated switching PSU information so that pretty much anyone can follow the instructions. (I have to admit I'm somewhat baffled by the PSU on this thing and I have read the major threads on it) My MB-6582 that has both types of SID currently is being powered by a noisy cobbled together double wall wart type PSU. I would like to MOD my SID box to have the latest switching type as seen in this thread and also keeping both power rails available. I would like to build in very decent overhead to both supplies so I may power additional components such as a PWM for RGB LED's and RGB LCD, I know that might sound lame to some but I have practical reasons to want to do this as I also plan on some other additions to the build. Please I would really appreciate help doing the PSU and if your kind enough to help please can direct Mouser links to all the components I would need and step by step instructions with pictures are highly welcomed. Much love to the community here, SF.

You got mail :)

Hi, How much inc shipping to the UK? Thanks, SF

Is this still for sale?

Also along these lines I'm wondering if there exist flat top RGB LED's I could pimp the LEDS up with, any links to items would be greatly appreciated : )

Hi, Thank you for your awesome reply, unfortunately I had to take a break from 'SID land' to work on my film degree, but i'm back now. This is so helpful thank you, I'm somewhat novice at electronics just wondering what type of current limiting resistor I might require as I'm planning on pressing ahead with this repair in the near future. Also wondering what type of PWM mixing circuit I might require to work with the supplied voltages? Thanks so much for your help, SF

Bad news turns out that my LCD screen letters sticking was a sign it was on its way out because now it's had it, backlight seems ok, but letters are dead. So I'm happy to buy a nice high quality LCD display and may as well turn this into an opportunity to learn something about the workings of the MB-6582. So I now need a replacement, is there anything stopping me using an RGB LCD like this http://www.adafruit.com/products/498 What extra electronics would I require in order to put a pot (or switch) in the box some place that lets me change the LCD colour assuming that is possible? (if I wire this up as 'normal' will it work on the MB-6582 as a red display?) Any advice or assistance would be greatly appreciated, I am very much an electronics novice but not completely clueless and very happy to learn. Much Thanks, SF

OMG V3 sounds amazing, I've been kind of drooling over this item for a while now or will graphical interface mean something more like this hehe.. yummy :drool: sorry for the silly question, "graphical" just got my interest.

bonus point... with slight pressure (very slight) direct to the bare front of LCD I was even able to unstick a stuck line on the display... wootz!

Found it : ) posted here for others also looking in future Cool thanks Imp, I fixed the contrast, no idea why it was set so low looks great now, it's odd though because if all those pots by the BSL chips are for LED contrast why does only one of them change it? Thanks, SF

That things a work of art, if you'll excuse the vernacular makes me want to Tee-off on some magik just looking at it :drool: How much were you looking for moxi?

Are these still for sale?

Ok thanks very kind of you to help out! next dumb question: Where is the pot located exactly, is it on the display module or the main PCB or erm..? Thanks in advance, sorry for my newbie questions, I have yet to build my own, I figured the best approach was to acquire a working one to cross reference first * and get to know it inside and out, so I'm coming from a bit of a reverse 'engineering' approach, if you see what I mean. * (before attempting a build, I was a bit concerned the whole project had wound down on the forum and I might not be able to get much advice) SF

Hi ilmenator, Thankyou for your reply, Interesting, helpful and insightful, because the LCD on my MB6582 is rather dim (back light seems ok-ish but low contrast on the display) and I have been looking into possible causes, someone mentioned a contrast adjustment, but I couldn't find where this might be or how to adjust it. I have read that the PSU can effect the more power hungry backlight displays, so I may have to change from the two separate supplies soldered together option implemented currently, apart from anything else they are German socket type and I live in the UK, I can hack to work it with a quick screwdriver to the earth socket (or more clumsy adapters), but it's inelegant to say the least. Cheers, SF

Hi, Sorry for the newbie question, but what are the relevance of the 3 components with the heat sinks on? I ask because on my build two of them (the ones in line with the SID) are absent... Just wondering what they do? (my synth seems to function just fine just troubleshooting the build I recently received and learning the ropes so to speak) Thanks in adavnce, SF

Hi kristal=, Thanks for the reply, this is probably a very silly question but I'm new here so please forgive my asking— How do I edit the wish list on the page you linked? I cannot seem to log into the page or create a new account and attempting to edit I get this message- "This page is read only. You can view the source, but not change it. Ask your administrator if you think this is wrong" I expect I missed something simple, please could you or someone who has a moment to help a noob help meh? Thx, SF

Hi, Sorry if this is a foolish question, but.. where is the contrast pot setting and how does one go about adjusting it? Thanks, SF

Hi, just wondering did the list get made? I'm after 16 X Drehknopf DK16-190V3 A.6/4,5 AT=14 schwarz soft-transparent klar (transparent clear) Thanks, SpaceFire

Hi, Do you have any SIDs left I need 8 of them if possible. Thanks, JJ

Hi, Is this Sammich still available? Thanks, JJ
