  4. Bad C64 PSU?

    i.e. to what to look at inside the C64 PSU)

    I would hazard that you'd probably be disappointed by what you found, were you to open one.

    AFIK, most of these supplies aren't really serviceable; All of the electronics are housed in

    this icky resinous goo, and I've found that the plastic case likes to eat fingers for breakfast...

  6. MB-6582 panels from front panel express?

    FWIW I too had the same issue, though I said 2mm would be fine, figuring that if it didn't work I could knock .5mm off the back later.

    I have yet to glue up the panels, but I can confirm that as of right now (with all the 10mm standoffs in placeon the PCD) all tact switches have a good feel, and though I can only get a thread and a half, the nuts will also fit on the encoders (washer included) with the panels at 2mm thickness.

    Good luck!

    Hey all,

    I'm a big-time lurker, low post-count kind of guy, so you've probably not seen much of me. Greetings!

    I'm also lazy when it comes to connecting circuit boards together. So...

    I was wondering if there was anyone out there looking for an alternative to all the ribbon cable

    business (ie. cutting, stripping, bleeding) and would be interested in something more befitting a lazy person

    such as myself, like pre-cut FFC with solder tabs:

    I'm open to ideas, thoughts, comments, and would be willing to organize a bulk order

    should enough people prove interested.

    You can also tell me to stuff it and I will gladly pick up my XActo knife and go home.  ;)

  9. What is wrong in this picture?

    I know I'm a newb here, but I couldn't help but chime in on this one.

    I work at an outdoor music venue near Chicago, USA. During the season,

    we do a good mix of classical and a wide variety of "pop" acts.

    The Beach Boys played our main stage with "special guest" John Stamos this year. If

    you're from the US, or if you have a thing for American sitcoms, you might remember him

    as Uncle Jessie on "Full House". 

    Anyway, the cable for his Gretsch went under the drum riser and got plugged into nothing.

    His SM 58 did get a channel on the board, but the fader stayed down for the whole show. 

    To his credit, though, he was not a terrible drummer.  :)
