500€?!

fixed the link to when I was building it. thx Tbreath.

Im in Sweden btw. And there is à C64 psu included in the deal.

Midibox MB6582. It has 8 NOS 6582A SIDs. It´s working great and sounds fantastic apart from core2 which is working now and then. You can read about it here from when I was building it: CORE2 was working for awhile but then stopped again and I was happy enough with the 3 stereo SIDs that are working so I never bothered to fix it again. I haven´t soldered the feedback pots or fan either. My experience is that the fan isn´t needed but the feedback pots might be fun! Some pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37701459@N04/ Sold. Im in Sweden but shipping anywhere is ok. Regards Erik

Thanks Thorsten! Best regards, Erik

Hi, I built a MB6582 some years ago. Its an incredible synth but I havent used it much due to other commitments. I would now like to ask if its ok to sell it. I will ask only what I paid in parts. Thanks, Erik

So with a new multimeter I was able to figure out that my psu section problems were not only a broken bridge rectifier (probably from a short between it´s in/out) but also a faulty psu. And yep, the multimeter was broken also....I´m very glad everything worked out before I got crazy.....Now everything is working fine! Now wiring and uploading :)

I guess you´re right....that´s the only thing I can be sure of. BUT...I´m still happy :) I´m pretty sure it works now. I´m a believer.

Hey Mike, huge thanks!! You saved me from going over everything for the 20:th time:-) My multimeter measures 20V AC across a 9V battery....I guess that means I have a functioning optimized psu for my sid!! YIHAAA!!

Ok, update on the optimized psu since I finaly got hold of another bridge rectifier.... When measuring DC I get: - 5.20V at 5V output - 5.20V at led pin - 14.09V at 14V output pin So far so good but when measuring AC I also get: ~ 10V at 5V output ~ 10V at led pin ~ 30V at 14V output... Somehow there´s AC going everywhere in the circuit but I can´t figure out why??! I use a W10G bridge rectifier but from what I understand (which I agree is not much) it should make no difference. If anyone has an idea what could be wrong I´d really appreciate it.

Similar problem but my psu seems ok and give a steady 11-12VAC and 5.5VDC. I went over the board again and found a short between the bridge rectifier - leg and ~leg. Fixed it but still the same problem with 10-12VAC almost everywhere....maybe the short have destroyed the bridge rectifier?

Did some more measuring since I found out that I forgot to switch to AC on the multi :-[ So much to remember;-) Still no good results though. I got: - 11.1VAC and 10.3VAC for pins 6 and 7 (solder side). - 11.4VAC-5.5VDC after bridge rect (+ side) - 11.3VAC-5.4VDCafter bridge rect (-side) - 11.8VAC-5.4VDC just before voltage reg pin 1 - 0.00VAC-5.4VDC volt reg pin2 - 10.9VAC-5.36VDC volt reg pin3 - 10.9VAC at the 14VDC output pin??? 5.36VDC when set to DC.... - 5.36VDC at 5VDC pins - 5.36VDC at power led pins (no led attached) Conclusion: I have no idea why I get both AC and DC readings all the way in the 14VDC line except at the voltage regulatur pin2. ....very small changes in voltage also. voltage seems ok until the bridge rectifier but nothing changes after it. Not functioning? hm thinking about it it seems like this could be it. Bridge rectifier not working....but then again I have very little knowledge of these things so if anyone could confirm this thought in anyway I´d be greatful. 11.4VAC into the voltreg and 10.9 out....is this because it gets AC at pin1 and DC at pin2?
