  1. Single +12V (not ~12V as on original) can be used, and it is included in the package. 12VAC is probably also supported but I do not have an appropriate power source.
  2. Hello and thank you for the interest. They can be mixed on the main PCB, so you just choose the voltage for each SID installed. Proper capacitors should be installed as well, I can arrange it before shipping. Default capacitors are set to 8580 mode. You can set the voltage separately to each of 8 SIDs, just like on original MB6582.
  3. PM sent, thank you :)
  4. Hello and thank you for the interest. Replied to PM and in the MB6582 thread. sammichFM is planned to be optimized in design and I plan a small batch in the new year.
  5. Hi everyone! Over the past few months, I’ve completed the engineering of a brand-new MB6582-inspired synthesizer, designed entirely from the ground up. While fully compatible with the classic Midibox Midibox SIDV2 architecture, this new design focuses on modern manufacturing, clean layout, and improved reliability. The name - "PHL8580" What’s New? Premium factory-made ENIG front panel PCB 4 PIC cores inside, maintaining MB6582-style operation All PCBs, including the front panel, PCB factory manufactured Support for ArmSID, Kung Fu SID, and original 6581 / 6582 / 8580 chips Clean, modern internal design with easy assembly Due to licensing, production and sales is currently limited to 10 units, therefore I will be offering 9 units for sale (I'll save one for myself). I am offering it here. The price is well below other available MB6582 assemblies on the market, without the SIDs its only 420 EUR, delivery from the EU: Actually, I want to ask the founders and core developers to broaden the production. What am I offering? As I see no major updates over few years, I want to add new fresh air to the development and so - If I receive permission to manufacture these synthesizers without listed limitations, I will: Developing and improving the software/electronics side of the project free of charge Donating financially wherever the original authors request Releasing the PCB sources for the new-engineered MB6582-compatible synths, as well as for my sammichSID and sammichFM clones, so anyone can build these legendary projects themselves. I will release everything including frontpanels, CAD files and so on - so everyone can assemble the devices at home. Creating a next-generation MB6582 on MIOS32, running on an STM32 core - a modern evolution of the classic design I will try to record some videos and publish on YouTube soon. Photos (also take a look at the fleamarket thread):
  6. Hello everyone! Over the past few months, I’ve engineered a brand-new MB6582-style synthesizer, deeply inspired by the original Midibox MB6582 but redesigned completely from scratch for improved reliability, easier assembly, and modern component availability. Key new features: Premium ENIG front panel PCB - durable, professional finish 4 PIC cores onboard - full MB6582-compatible architecture Factory-manufactured PCB set, including the front panel Supports ArmSID, Kung Fu SID, or original 6581/6582/8580 chips Clean internal layout, solid build, and high-quality components Prices: Base unit: 420 EUR + shipping With Kung Fu SID set: 499 EUR ArmSID pricing available upon request. Availability: The license allows producing 10 units, so I’m offering 9 units for sale. 1 unit is in stock right now Additional units can be assembled in 3-4 weeks If I receive permission to sell more broadly, I plan to lower the price and release all design files as open source I will make a separate thread in Latest News or somewhere else Photos PCBs and components:
  7. Hi! Answered in PM. Yes, sammichFM can be ordered by dropshipping. Only a bare PCB can be ordered currently. Also coming soon - a new MB6582-compatible synth Inexpensive, fully compatible, affordable, technology optimized Will make a new thread soon
  8. I assembled one more unit just in case if somebody wants to take sammichSID :)) Now in metallic-white acrylic case. Fully working and tested, comes with a simple PSU. Also the price for enclosure now is a bit more reduced so in total with ArmSID chips the synth can be offered for 160 EUR including shipping (within EU and UK; USA - negotiable)
  9. New top as requested PM me please, or I can send the details as well.
  10. Hi Still available. I'll send you the photos with yellow/gold cover in the morning or afternoon.
  11. This is what is now available, tested it today. If you prefer reflective gold-yellow front panel, I can install it instead of black one. Can give it to you for 190 EUR incl shipping (inside EU)
  12. Hi! Yes, they are. I just need to solder appropriate capacitors for your SID model(emulators work without it) I'll send more recent photos tomorrow.
  13. I can repair it for some price if you want and it is still relevant. I'm located in Slovenia
  14. Sure, will send PM later today. For sammichFM I have the project but not the bare PCBs. Can order them though
