Wow! Great work sineSurfer

yay! thanks for the update grizz. Smash has opl3 boards in stock if anyone else is doing a mb-fm.

glovepie also is nice ... not as easy as some of the other ones like rejoice

Thats kinda like what I had when I was building mine. Not sure if its the same but have a look at the trimpots and be sure they are good maybe wiggle them with your hands and test for juice. Try and find a DC power supply to test also, keep looking for any bridges. Good luck.

Got my knobs ... Thanks bhc303

I had a bad experence using alcohol on my board. It made the board all powdery and it turned out my flux was water based. The alcohol I used was also to weak %75.

If buyer quits on that red panel let me know please.

:frantics:

I want the grey set if I have a choice. I will still take the red set if he wants the grey.

I would like the remaining knob set if there is one. Im in the USA so if easier to find a local buyer I would understand.

Wow... and the music

I put my name on the list

http://www.crystalfontz.com/products/2002y/datasheets/990/CFAH2002YPDIET_v1.0.pdf lcd link also I noticed before it worked when the IC2 was out it behaved the same, with the extra f0 f0, what does that chip do?

Hey its working, This thing is bad ass! Made some patches last night almost got lead engine it all figured out. Not really sure what fixed it I will list the problems I had though. First I had no power to J2 (this was in another post) - bridged connection on the 2200 cap with the small yellow one next to it - touched up some connections in the power area, bridge rectifier and others Extra F0 problems - replaced 2200cap, still had problem - bad connection (soldering) on one of the trimpot I did it to light and it was not stable - switched lcd to high power seemed more stable so I left it on that - reinstalled 6n138 IC2 chip ,, do not know if that did anything but thats when it started working fine, only removed to confirm direction markings. Did reinstalling the IC2 help, maybe system had to redetect it? My last question is about LCD. The specs say 5v 128 mA, It looks a little bright on high power can I try it on 12v setting without JR4 current jumper or is that a bad idea? Not worried about that its minor. I am very happy about this sammich.

Now I am getting extra data at the end of the messages. -EDIT NO its normal I was wrong Can not query device anymore. I have sid's on and without top panel still no go. Seems like it turns on fine and I can go through the menus. Could not upload patch to test sound. So I do not know what to do about this power problem or maybe its a midi out issue. Do not worry about it to much I think I will have to take a break from this for a day or 2.

When I was turning that pot it seemed kinda wacky. I touched up one of the joints that looked good was a little bead shaped. Now everything seems ok still trying to be sure it will query. Seems ok on max bright, before it was med/dark. I got the upload done. Going to try sid's.

Yo, So it works without the top panel I can query it!! maybe the power from the lcd is droping it or tk had told me I do not need 1 of the 100nf yellow guys maybe that is a problem... C4 is blank also checking everything else

no luck with these, also voltage tests are same with both 12 dc 500ma and 9v ac 1000ma
