Unfortunately I need to sell my sammichSID, it has two 6581's in it that I pulled from C64's myself.
I specifically went with all white leds and the screen is white with grey letters also. It also has the plexiglass inset to protect the screen
I've been building electronics for over 15 years so it's well made, I hate to let it go, it took a lot of time to get all the parts together but I just don't use it enough and along with the fact that times are tight I really need the cash.
I'd like to get $475 shipped anywhere in the world, or $450 shipped in the US.
Thanks

Well It's been sitting for over a year now and in need of the cash, so thinking of selling it, but not sure if I need permission first?
Thanks!

Payment sent!

Mine works, I just have to finish the mb6582 to be sure it'll handle the power requirement, but proper voltages are seen on the 5V, 9V and 12v rails in the MB itself.
Just a simple dual coil 9VAC transformer, one is rectified and regulated to 5VDC, the other is 9VAC straight in, of course some fuses just incase.
-
I was just checking in to see if there was any news. :D
-
I'd be willing to help you out, I'm just outside Chicago.

Well been trying to get on here for a while, damn DNS problem, anyhow I got my parts and threw the power supply together and it works fine, I can't really run my mb-6582 as I am waiting for my front panel to finish it but I hooked it up and correct powers are seen on the base board for the 5v, 9v, and 12v, ran all the PICs and SIDs without any issue. I'll have to see when I finish it all, but I really think it'll be fine.
-
Sorry it was a link from my search, should work now.
Also there is this one, which has the same stats as the one I ordred but it's a PC mount, I wanted to be able to stand the coil on it's end to save some space so I got the wired version.

Broken link - can you re-post?
Sorry it was a link from my search, should work now.
-
Well I went ahead and ordred this transformer: Digikey
Also got all 125degree caps for the DC side, I want this to work and last a long time! We'll see how it comes out.
I did run across this schematic of the inside of the C64 supply, although we don't need that much amperage.
-
Has anyone built a C-64 power supply clone, one that outputs the needed 9VAC and 5VDC. I'd like to build one but hate to reinvent the wheel if there are some good schematics out there that work well.
Thanks!
-
Yeah would be cool, I have a few atmels around here that could use a good home :D
-
That's sad as all the time that went into building it and the thief will have no idea what it is.
-
I can recommend the 12VDC regulated supply from all electronics it has ran my 6581s fine direct from the supply, puts out a nice constant 12VDC
-
I'm using this one: http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a-store/item/PS-1251/12-VDC-500-MA-REGULATED-POWER-SUPPLY//1.html
12.16 out under no-load and 12.09 under load, can't complain, cheap too!
-
I plan on keeping one of the C64s I end up getting which ever has the nicest case. I never had one as a kid anyhow, just my atari.
Gotta see if I can find a better heatsink I guess.
-
Yeah Arkanoid was fun! I do still have my Atari 1200XL :D
-
Yeah Thats where I got the 2 in that pic, but they have been thin on ebay lately. I did get one that had the right keyboard but hat a 6581 in it, I have 3 6581 so don't need anymore. I feel bad about it to but really, who's using C64s anymore besides for the sid chip like MSSIAH.
-
I guess I was concerned about a short, but it wouldn't work then, at least it shouldn't. With my small aluminum piece on there it's not hot enough to burn you, but pretty toasty. I have to say I originally built with one sid, but adding the second for stereo effects increases the awesomeness of the SID sound 10 fold.
On a side note, does anyone know of C128s had 8580s in there or 6581s, or both?
-
But I need the 12V to power the 9v regulator for the SIDs I guess I could get a larger 9V and power the 5V off of it, or just use the heat sink, I just would think the regulator powering the LCD and the PIC would get hot too, it's running of the same 12V
-
I'm in for 20 Transparent!
-
Still looking for 3 8580s if someone has a kind heart! :D
-
Was hoping to quiet some of the noise, which I did a bit (Not much to be worth it) my input is from a 12v regulated PS. The regulator running the PIC and LCD doesn't get hot, I find it odd that the other does, but everything works fine, I've checked voltages and they are all good also.
Bought a couple old C64s off ebay to get those, I have an order in for the MB-6582 so I need more too! Still need 2 more 8580s (Have 2 on there way to me), was going to do 6 8580s and 2 6581s
-
Ok so I soldered this up over the past week and it's working great!
But I do have a couple questions.
1. I have a 5v regulator dedicated to just running the SIDS and it gets pretty toasty, is that normal?
2. When a patch isn't playing I can still here the oscillators running in the background very faintly, again normal?
Thanks!!
Here are a couple pics...

BTW the letters are filled in with silver paint, if you are in the US I can include an adaptor, must be a regulated 12VDC supply
