It seems he has unmarked screws in 20mm, im going to try them. Even though you're meant to use 25mm, which probably support the weight better, the 20mms have enough length to fit through, and fit a nut under the pcb.

Thanks for the reply. Hardware ordered now, time to finish that friggin mb-6582!

I just want to say first hand, that i used that exact file, and the holes are perfected aligned for M3 COUNTERSUNK screws only. If you do not want countersunk holes, you will have to change them in Front Panel Express to normal holes. Thank you mmalluck for you taking the time to put it up. :thumbsup: Here is the panel screwed in: Im thinking of going with these Black countersunk head bolts instead, so they arent as visible as the stainless steel: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400137588072#ht_776wt_911 I dont like the engraved numbers, in that pic, so i sent the seller a message asking if he has them without engravings. Ill buy them anyway if he doesnt.

Hi wilba, i just have a quick question regarding the 25 x M3 Spring Washers. Im assuming they will go between the head of the m3 x 6mm screw and the PCB itself? Rather than between the 10mm threaded spacer and the PCB. Would it be better to use a flat washer, as the spring washer could mark/damage the PCB? Im wondering why the spring washers would be more suitable? Thanks.

Just so other people know this is now property of nILS!

It could also be the case of Mike not being able to stock PIC18F4585s for reasons beyond his control. Thats something you must keep in mind when dealing with the one-man operations. Some people have posted crazy and insulting rants in the past for failing to think of this!

LOL! Yes. I had completely forgotten the audio socket was directly above it.

Did you use some sort of black LED holder thingy Wilba for mkI and mkII?

My initial guess was using noise and a high pass filter. I found a tutorial here however, half way down the page. http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicexpress/instruments/index.html#chapter=11%26section=24%26tasks=true

MMMMMMMOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! :frantics:

Received a letter in the door from Schaeffer today. It was just a copy of the invoice. Then to my complete surprise, the panel was delivered by UPS an hour ago. I was expecting it to arrive on Thursday, as it was still in Germany last night. The replacement looks great, no paint outside the engravings, no residue. I'm really pleased, and it was nice of them to sent it by some premium UPS, you can check out the deliver speed below: http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/processInputRequest?tracknum=1Z4021A50497321627 This company has one of the best levels of customer service i have ever experienced. I would thoroughly recommend them.

Real Cute! :ahappy:

That looks pretty cool Luke! Nice and compact 4 x sid(V-sid) beast! Not sure how i missed this first time round.

They must be watching us , *squints eyes from side to side in shifty manner* :shifty:

Schhaeffer got back to me sehr early in ze morgen, 7:15am! saying they would investigate what went wrong, and sent another email 13 mins later: "It seems that the colleagues doing the quality check didn't realize that the colour was not yet dry. When the panel was shrinkwrapped, the colour was drawn out of the engravings." They have agreed to re-manufacture the panel and ship it up tomorrow, i should have it by thursday. Top quality customer support and service imho. And thanks to Wilba and the dudes in the chat for the support.

TK? Can haz nilz banned nao plz? kthxbai! Edit! He changed back the poll results! boo!

Howdy, received my Schaeffer / FPE panels for MB-6582 and i noticed a few minor defects with the infills on the Front Panel, nothing too big a deal. So i said i'd put up a poll to see what people think. Im not sure if this is the "norm" or not. Here are the clickable thumbnails: In the Mod Matrix, the white line next to Pulse Width is duller than the other white lines. Note: Lines appear bent on right hand side, due to bad camera angle. * R is messy * N in Menu is very messy * V is messy in Curve * T in oscillator has a bit of a tail * White smudge around N in Envelope Also, how does anyone know hot to clean inside the Red Lines? I remember it asked on here before, but it was asked before the forum change-over, so the search wont show the post. Any feedback/suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you installed the jumper at J11?

Jumper at J11 missing? ;)

Yay! The first video with midibox source code in it?
