That fingersnap sound was worth the effort alone!

I have an old Hewlett Packard X-Y pen plotter data recorder. It takes analogue voltages for X and Y position and a switch signal for pen up/down. It doesn't look robust enough to mount a milling head, but perhaps a lazerrrr? And what would it take me to get g-code to analogue voltage conversion? Note I'm not expecting to mill 0.000001" PCBs on this - it's just a what-if project.

[me=DrBunsen]dives into bed next to Futureman.[/me] Mmm, pointy. Sorry guys, I've been out in the Offline World for a while. No, I did NOT say I would bid - I can't afford the whole lot right now. So as of right now: 22 hours 32 mins: 1 bidder If the bidder is one of us, please raise your hand NOW MEET ME IN THE CHAT ROOM see link above between Bookmarks and Search

I can understand you wanting to keep it mint, but as others have pointed out, you won't be able to play notes over MIDI (let alone control anything else) without at least a small mod. Two 3.5mm jacks for gate and CV (control voltage) will let you play notes from a sequencer, via a MIDI-CV converter like the MIDIbox CV. You could probably get away with one 3.5mm stereo jack (ie left for gate/trig, right for CV). Check out the 303 mods available from Analogue Solutions UK - they are available as kits or installed. You could either order the kits, and have a trusted local tech install them (or DIY) or if you are in the UK, travel down to their shop with your 303 in its locked, padded flight case handcuffed to a Doberman. IIRC, the Gate/CV mod is fairly cheap. A suggestion: make the hole for the jack/s inside the battery compartment (if there's room behind it for the jack) and take the lid off to run the leads in. If all your sequences are in a PC or MIDIbox, you don't need the batteries - and the outside of your Threebie stays completely vanilla :D

Seconded :o

Err... no. 4 days 22 hours (Mar 02, 200905:04:54 PM PST) chr0n1c - can you afford to bid to win on these? I'd be happy to chip in for the upfront cost, and reserve 5 of them. Paypal OK? I'd suggest, if you can and you're willing, that you bid for them (as your so far the only US member who's put their hand up) and split them up. Is that OK with you? I would have bid on them myself but shipping to AU then shipping out again is expensive. Just collating all the expressions of interest so far: DrBunsen 5 (yes I'm putting myself first :P ) ilmenator General interest Twin-x 2 or 4 ultra a couple slumgud two to Norway Goblinz 2. Unless the price goes very high Futureman 2 (I'm in Australia) Futureman - are you in Melbourne? If chr0n1c is happy to do the bidding and splitting, I'll help with the paperwork (ie hassling you all for monies :D )

Sure, because smash isn't busy or anything ;)

Yes, that's a start price of, what, $5.50 a piece? The listing also says he has multiple lots - I've written to find out how many. Time for a VFD bulk, maybe?

2 x 40 VFD displays with HD44780 controllers :D 14 pcs per lot, starting at $79 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130289800857 US buyers only - so someone buy them and sell me some!!!! Seriously!

Niiiiiice! And thanks for the schems too! I have an old Arista boomp-chikka preset rhythm box I want to give the same treatment - all discrete components inside so ripe for modding. 8) Have you got any thoughts on modding yours?

DIY synth pr0n at it's finest 8) By the way: On the custom case folding and cutting, AU$265 for that much detail and size is pretty darn good IMHO. Any chance you can name names? ;)

If it's only the front and rear panels that are custom, you could get them lasered and shipped from ponoko or emachineshop.com, and just bolt them to a standard rack case. I trawl for outdated rack devices regularly, and you can really score some bargains - a dead 1U router for say $10 beats a brand new 1U rack case for $90 in my book :D

Thoughts: Slide them under a piece of flat bar at each end and bolt that down. Document clips Suck it and see. Maybe they'd need overprinting, or those speshul metallic/fluoro inks 8) Schaweeeeet :D

Rumour mill??? Awesome!! I need 350 of 8" x 10" rumours run off by this Friday for my class; if I don't get them by then I fail the whole year!! I'm sending you the file by PM. It's a great thing you're doing for the community! MIDIbox RAWKS!!

Depends how munted you are. I know it once took me and my bandmate a seeming eternity to realise that the DJ we'd been jamming over had faded us out. A horrible, confusing eternity. But then we tend to have 30,000 devices plugged in and are never quite sure what's going on at the best of times :D God' date=' what's [i']right in that picture??

Ahhh, explains a lot ... :P
