    Okay, I called Heidenreich today, status is:

     

    A purchasing employee fell ill for 3 weeks and another was hospitalized, but the cases are finally manufactured and will be send out tomorrow. I'm sorry for the delay!

    Received the trackingnumber, pics will follow when the parcel has arrived

     

    edit 11-12:

     

    • Received the parcel.
    • measurements checked, looking good - now the packing process begins

    Hi zephyrin, Switzerland isn't in the EU, so DHL charges 28,99 € for shipping (Hermes 31,99 €, GLS & DPD don't ship to CH, so no alternative). Also PayPal wants an exchange fee for SF -> EUR. Please find the total amount on the wiki page.

    @all who are interested in a SEQ4 case: Last chance to hop on the bulk. Might be the last for 2014: http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=seq4_aluminium_case_and_frontpanel_2014

    • looks like it has an AS/NZS 3112 harmonised Australian and New Zealand AC Socket (Type I)
    • supports input voltage: 100 - 240 VAC (New Zealand's nominal voltage is 230 VAC)
    • provided output: 12VDC, 1A and is regulated
    • has plenty of different plugs, there's certainly a fitting 5.5/2.1mm plug (aka coaxial power connector) included. Like C_04, I assume you require a standardized 2.1mm power connector, since the manual lists a "DC Power Jacks PCB 2.1MM" for J1.

    These are the requirements for your power supply. If you are unsure, mail the vendors and ask them if the plugback complies to your requirements. Both vendors don't provide a data sheet so the final judgment is not so easy from the distance. That's why I said could work, but the odds are quite in your favor if you check back with the vendors. Don't forget to set the yellow selector on the plugback to 12V.

     

    @C_04: Wilba explains the 1,5V voltage drop in the manual.

     

    Regards,

    kristal= it could work or will work?

    I don't see any contradiction to Wilba's recommendation, so I'm pretty sure it'll work. Open your Sammich, remove the SIDs, plug in PSU, test voltage between pin 28 (top-right corner) and pin 14 (bottom-left corner) of each SID's IC socket (as described in the sammichSID Build Guide), if it's exactly 9V, you're fine.

     

    @C_04: That's Wilba's recommendation, not mine. Shouldn't he know, since he designed the machine?

    From the building guide:

    If using 6581, make sure you are using a regulated 12V power supply.
    If using 8580 or 6582, a regulated 12V power supply is preferred but not essential.
    Test voltage between pin 28 (top-right corner) and pin 14 (bottom-left corner) of each SID's IC socket.
    For 6581, this must be exactly 12V.
    For 8580 or 6582, this must be exactly 9V.

    Oh nice, that looks good! Congratulations! :thumbsup:

     

    It took a bit longer to make the case since there indeed was a minor problem. As you can see I used standoffs to level the panel pcb and the LCD's. Unfortunately the case rails are wide enough to get in the way. My solution was to use Dremel and cut small dents to the rails where the standoffs collides with the rails. Now the panel fits perfectly.

     

    Yes, I know what you mean. I've pointed out the problem in post of this thread. A normal M3 screw fits, if you use a standoff, there's a standoff too much. Even if you glue it with JB Weld, you have to grind some glue off. See bottom pic of post #52. It's a "problem" of the whole design concept, but it doesn't take much time to solve it.

    Many thanks to kristal, the case arrived here too.

     

    Unfortunately I have no idea where to get these. Can someone help?

    You're welcome. Would you like to post some pics of the assembled case with your new front panel? This would be the ultimate accuracy test. I'm very interested.
