  2. have too many pots to solder and wire :)

      the shafts of the pots are too short so no counterpanel for 9090.

      Fortunately the knobs cover the hex nuts.

  4. is on vintage synth surgery

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

      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 ! :)

      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.

      I understand. too much rain can be annoying as too hot.

      but now here is too hot from too long.

      starting the rain dance :)

      technobreath

      Yes. A little heat would be fine. I have had exactly 2 days at the beach this summer, and I live right by it!

      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 :)

      uhm...about 4006 I have from various sources and brands...new and old...some are from old (never used ) aeronautics boards ...will test

    3. wicked1

      wicked1

      Those 40** chips are sensitive! Ive ordered some new ones, but don't know if they will work. (people have mixed results, depending on what brands/batches they try, apparently) I think I've got the clock pulse coming from the 4070.. I measure something w/ my scope.. it's only swinging a couple of volts, and is faster than I expected... ~ 1us pulses. Not sure if that's right...

    4. Antix

      Antix

      Dont know. as I will receive the pots I will wire them and I will start to test sounds

  12. at the moment haz no workbench for soldering :( he hope he can have it again soon

      No soldering in the kitchen? Isn't that the purpose of said room?

      I surely will use it for MB808.

      Already etched , drilled and tinned the three voice boards from Microlarge( thanks Yodabe ).

      Too nice have the core , switches and Din/Dout in one board.

      Just cant wait :)

    4. technobreath

      technobreath

      hehe, yes, italy was really down low this match. Spain was the worthy winner, no doubt.

  15. is going to the sea for a week ... see you midiboxers next saturday. ( Hoping to find in the post box some electrostuff to solder on return back)

      I hope he will love music...I will try to give him the opportunities that I have not had.

      when I was a kid learning music was not a priority for my parents.Anyway it is a choice that belongs to him ( he can play my MB6582 too ) :D

    4. jojjelito

      jojjelito

      Learning to play as a kid was tough, but worth it! Nice piano, btw.

    4. jojjelito

      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

      It feels wrong. MUST BUILD SOMETHING!

    3. Antix

      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.

    4. Antix

      Antix

      ATM full building mode on 9090 ( only resistors )

  23. Translating tracking information they wrote in Chinese I discovered I have to " keep my hair straight up "

      The signs are not auspicious. Confucius says "he who waits will continue to do so". Sun Tzu said in the art of war that he who's hair is straight up will win any battle :)

      Really?

      I havent finished it yet.

      As I do it I will give you a feedback.
