I got 2 8580 chips and 1 in a C64-C. I was holding on to them, but I'm not sure I can mix/match 6581s and 8580s in a MIDIBOX SID setup anyways. Got something to trade?

I'm looking to build a MB-6582. Money is a bit tight so I thought I would take a stab at trading. I have 8 fully functional 6581 SID chips for trade. They have been tested using the diagnostic mode in the MSSIAH cart. All filters and oscillators are fully working. I am looking for a complete kit for building a MB-6582 (minus the SID chips and C64 case). Parts or built is fine as long as I end up with what I need to finish the process. I also need to find a panel. If you have some parts, I could trade a smaller number of SID chips for pieces. My original plan was to sell them and buy the parts, but I thought that some of you would prefer this in case you have extra parts and could use some SID chips.

I've got a big collection of 6581s (about 20 or so), but no extra 8580s. I test them all with the MSSIAH cart. Let me know if you're interested. Here is an ebay link to them. 6581 ebay auction

I'm afraid I only landed 2 of those in my collection and I need them for my MIDIBox. I have plenty of cases, 6581s, complete computers, etc. that are available.

I have them for sale here: http://www.rave-tz.com/store/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=23

Thanks a ton. Can't wait! Very excited honestly.

From what I read I need MB-6582 Baseboard Parts Kit MB-6582 CS (control surface?)PCB LEDs Not on site: LED display knobs case Anything else I'm missing? BTW. Thanks for helping a guy who just found this yesterday. Reading up on this project is difficult since its an evolving project. Hard to tell what data fits where. I'll document my findings and post a n00b guild to building a MIDIBOX SID 2 when its all done.

I understand that, but I see MB-6582 Baseboard PCB, MB-6582 CS PCB, MB-6582 Baseboard Parts Kit, and I don't see any mention of the MIDI DIN connectors, LEDs, etc. I want to build a MB 6582, I just need direction on which parts to get at the store http://www.avishowtech.com/mbhp/buy.html A list saying Get: This This and This so I can build it complete is what I'm looking for.

I guess my issue is knowing which parts to buy on http://www.avishowtech.com/mbhp/buy.html I need a full kit (programmed chips, boards, surface parts, etc) Lots of options here but a little confusing for someone just starting. Looking for a full 8 SID chip setup as standard as possible. Thanks. On a side note, I am starting to put some of this stuff on my online store. You can find it at rave-tz.com/store

I don't cannibalize anything that works. The 20 SIDs came from busted machines. Loving the SX though with its 42 lbs, allegedly portable awesomeness. As for selling them, I am setting up a shop to sell most of the C64 inventory. I'll post when thats done. Mostly interested in getting some SID chiptunes up and running. Its super pristine under the dirt

Long story short I bought the complete stock of an old Commodore dealer. 20+ tested SID chips (only 3 8580s) and 20+ working C64s (C64, C64B, 1 C64-SX, and a few C-128s). Also have TONS of accessories / test equipment. I love working on chiptunes and would love to adopt the SID sound. My workflow includes a Sid Station (Borrowed from a friend) and I just got a MSSIAH cart. I'm very familiar with my soldering iron but my chip burner is old and doesn't work with some of the new PIC chips. Despite my best attempts to understand what I need and how to assemble it, there are so many concurrent versions of the MIDIBOX SID that I'm having a difficult time sorting them out on my own. I want to build something that has a LCD display, easy controls, stored instrument settings, and all MIDI controllable. I get the impression that the MIDIBOX is my solution. While 1 SID chip would be enough, I wouldn't mind the full 8. Why limit myself when I have lots of these things? If someone could simply tell me which kits to buy in the USA, that would be fantastic. If there is anything I need outside these kits would be good to know too. On a side note, when I tested the 8580s, they seemed to be half the volume of the 6581s. Any reason for that? Thanks in advance! Me testing the SID chips pulled from non-functioning C64s with the MSSIAH cart. The working Commodores (about half the inventory) My SIDs
