      right, especially, if you have a gurl sitting over the credit card statements, demanding why that pcb was moar necessary than her new necklace :)

      At this moment I have on the bench the 9090 boards, the 808 boards , the MN2007 chorus and a Rebote delay from tonepad , completing the second MB6582 that miss the frontpanel and some boards I dont remember anymore what are. I feel frustrated every day that I cant turn on my soldering station.

      ATM full building mode on 9090 ( only resistors )

      Are you going to use a 2SC1583? otherwise i might be able to help you with a matched pair of bc550

    3. Antix

      Antix

      Thanks Shuriken,

      You are very kind

      I have already some SSM2210 to use instead of 2SC1583.

      Do you used BC550 matched for this?

      How it sound?

    4. Shuriken

      Shuriken

      I thought only the V1 pcb used the ssm2210.

      Haven't finished my transistor matcher yet. Almost there though.

      So whats the deviation from the cool unit in the photo tut :-))?

    4. Antix

      Antix

      Really the deviation is from another task ( I was on panel ).The power supply will be really similar ( and cool )like the one in the photo tut :P

  7. Received first batch of "greenies" capacitors from Singapore

      Antix

      Yes,

      if you open vintage stuffs you will find greenies caps.

      Modern caps are better but if you want the vintage taste.... ;)

    3. Antix

      Antix

      Anyway the greenies I bought are 5% ...not bad compared some modern polyesters at 10 or 20%

    4. technobreath

      technobreath

      Cool. Whenever I see stuff like "green" or "greenie" etc. I think enviormental friendly stuff. Makes me want to go outside and set fire to some plastic or something :D hehe

      Yes, you can directly plug the LPC17 into the SEQ V4 CS PCB - there is a LPC-based firmware available for download :) - Also check out ilmenators TPD PCB building effort for maximum bling :)

      I'm sure that's their daily business. MOQ for an own series is 3.000pcs. That's the amount necessary get the machines starting. 10K is standard, when they receive an order.

      Testing the switches with a multimeter I am seeing how they do not make contact anymore ... they have become like resistors...after 25 years :)

    3. Hawkeye

      Hawkeye

      Sounds like fun :) I´ve got a 10 years old Roland Vsynth here, which i really love, but a few interface tactile switches are also beginning to fail - as well as the LCD backlight sometimes stays off (CCFL based?)... Hope there is replacement parts to be found somewhere :) - anyways, the D50 is an awesome synth, never part with it ! :)

    4. Antix

      Antix

      old gears may give these craps.

      My S1100 LCD is very dark .I read that it is a common defect on old Akai and on Ebay I found a backlight replacement.

      I hope it will works.

      I think you can find something like in the net.

      Stop complaining! I decided to remove 112 leds. And replace them with 112 flathead leds. I did the first bit yesterday :)

      I found the MB6582 CS board dead easy, it was the main PCB that took time. Especially when I made mistakes, one I spotted and another I didn't notice until MIDI in didn't work :)
