i know i posted that one. But it is tougher to get here in holland then the one i posted today.

The would be too easy.. :smile: I wanted to challenge myself into finding a nice linear power supply.

I found another linear power supply. This one looks nice and its not too expensive. Still above the 100 euro but this one is easier to order in holland. http://www.power-one.com/sites/power-one.com/files/lin_6.pdf Model HCBB-75W-AG deliveres 5V @ 6A, 12V @ 1.7A and -12V @ 1.7A its also possible to switch the -12V to -5V http://nl.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=gCHJnwMCk7Sa%2fhsO6vvSjg%3d%3d Only thing that bothers me is that the same model is mentioned 3 times in the PDF of power-one. With 3 different outputs :( Not sure if the power supply can be switched to all those different currents. The power supply looks certainly promising. Can someone confirm this?

i noticed it also when i second looked. Damn, i almost thought i had found a nice power supply. Thanks for pointing it out shuriken. The search continues :( grtz

Yeah should be linear. On another hand. I finished the MB6582 tonight still didn''t have the other powersupply so i thought lets do a fast testing with the stock C64 i could not wait. When i started it up everything looks okay so i started trying all the buttons and stuff. When i was trying everything suddenly the MB6582 went black. I disconected the powersupply direcly after that happened. Could it be that i fryed everything now? If you fry the ICs can you see that on the outside? I''m worried now :( Regards

I haven''t decided yet on the powersupply but my build of the MB6582 is almost near the end so it got a bit more priority :D Found some more nice linear power supplys i think the first one is ideal not sure though: http://estaging.alliedelec.com/search/productdetail.aspx?SKU=8000400#tab=Specs Outputs -12 VDC @ 0.5a. +5 VDC @ 5A, +12 VDC @ 2.5 A Or this one its a bit cheaper and but not sure if it deliveres enough on the 12V: http://estaging.alliedelec.com/search/productdetail.aspx?SKU=8008071#tab=Specs Outputs: -12 VDC @ 0.3 A, +5 VDC @ 3 A, +12 VDC @ 1.2 A Regards

Hey i added myself also to the list. I hope this groupbuy is still hapening. grtz

I'm going to use one of these linear PSU's. Can someone give me good advice which one would work right out of the box.? http://www.emersonin...es/default.aspx Possible candidates: SLD-12-6034-05T --> Output1: 5V @ 6A output2: 12V @ 3.4A http://nl.mouser.com...4jbrRylrA%3D%3D SLT 12-61818-12T1 --> Output1: 5V @ 6A output2: 12V @ 1.8A output3: -12V @ 1.8A http://www.remotesit...-1277743896.jsp Thanks

@hawkeye: I know they are, but i can't find anything else out there that could work. Best would be a lineaire PSU like the one you build but can't find any on the internet. So only option would be a switching supply i guess. And i should find one with the highest brrzzzztrzts out there to not be able to hear. @middleman: I think a computer psu will have lots of noise on the audiolines so thats why i decided to look for a pro psu that has very high frequency switching. Hard to find a nice one. especially here in holland. Edit: OMG i just found a supplier for lineair PSU that possible could work: http://www.emersonindustrial.com/en-us/egselectricalgroup/products/Control-Power-Solutions/Power-Supplies/SL-Single-Multi-Output-Linears/Pages/default.aspx Possible candidates: SLD-12-6034-05T --> Output1: 5V @ 6A output2: 12V @ 3.4A http://nl.mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs=Fhl5NpiNeCXzw4jbrRylrA%3D%3D SLT 12-61818-12T1 --> Output1: 5V @ 6A output2: 12V @ 1.8A output3: -12V @ 1.8A http://www.remotesiteproducts.com/SPD/sola-slt12-61818-12t1-sola-silver-line-triple-output-linear-power-supply-case-g2-4-87--h-x-11--w-x-2-75--d--output-1=5vdc-6a-output-2=12vdc-1-8a-or-15v-1-5a-output-3=--12v-1-8a-or--15v-1-5a-with-remote-sense-and-built-in-ovp--industry-accepted-foorprint-for-open-frame--low-noise--extremely-quiet-dc-output-for-noise-sensitive-or-analog-circuitry---8000150F-1277743896.jsp

Okay i found a nice site: http://www.sunpower-uk.com This site has loads of different power supply's too bad no price and no option to add to basket. But you can request a quote. I checked some specs, i listed a few of them that has I think the correct specs: SPP-D043 - 30-45W Dual Output Open Frame Power Supply http://www.sunpower-uk.com/product/30-45W-Dual-Output-Open-Frame-Power-Supply/SPP-D043/default.htm PD-45A - 40W Dual Output Open Frame Switching Power Supply http://www.sunpower-uk.com/product/40W-Dual-Output-Open-Frame-Switching-Power-Supply/PD-45A/default.htm SNP-YL63 - 57W 5V & 12V Dual Output Open Framed Power Supply http://www.sunpower-uk.com/product/57W-5V-and-12V-Dual-Output-Open-Framed-Power-Supply/SNP-YL63/default.htm RPD-60A - 49W Dual Output Open Frame Medical PSU http://www.sunpower-uk.com/product/49W-Dual-Output-Open-Frame-Medical-PSU/RPD-60A/default.htm SPS-G050-ID1 - 51W Isolated 5V & 12V Output Enclosed Power Supply http://www.sunpower-uk.com/product/51W-Isolated-5V-and-12V-Output-Enclosed-Power-Supply/SPS-G050-ID1/default.htm I don't have a clue if any of these will work on a mb6582 with 8x sid 6582 in it. Maybe someone could give feedback on this. And especially what specs are important for a power supply for a music instrument.

i understand youre concern. Thats why it should be a safe build. I'm digging into internet to see if there is maybe somewhere on this globe a nice replacement option. Will post the findings in this topic, if i can find any. I noticed the power suplly nothern descriped is hard to get especially in holland.

Yeah would be nice to have a nice and safe midibox project to build a custom MBSID power supply. The options to get a new ready built power supply that has the correct specs to power the MB6582 are nihil.

any news about the enclosures yet?

Also need the panels. The matt red looks sweet :D

so if i read this correct. I could use the standard RPT-60B to power my mb6582a instead of the original c64 psu. I only need to get a nice case for it and do some cabeling to it to connect to my mb658. I wonder if the RPT-60B fits inside the original case of the c64 psu. regards

Hmm. wish i saw the bulk order sooner.. Can someone else provide these pcb's?

So i put myself to the wiki. I live in EU. Depends when julianf has his orders ready i'm on this list too.

A wiki would be nice. And concerning the high shipping rates i would be interested in getting panels in EU. Regards Patrick

added myself to the wiki. I hope it's not too late :frantics:

Nice guide, will definitly use it when i'm finishing the 6582. Grtz

Hello i'm interested in the blue 6582 panel set. As long as all te dimensions are correct i don't care about the small errors. grtz
