strophlex Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 OK, I added some more options to the group buy page.You can choose whether you want the separating lines to be red or blue, plus you can now add in an order for a PT-10 case. If you get a PT-10 case, please let me know if you want the standard PT-10 panel with the mounting holes in the corner, or whether you prefer a "Wilba" panel that has no mounting holes showing through the front panel...So, corner holes: no, mean custom metal sheet with studs? Just to be sure. Quote
Doug Wellington Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Posted October 5, 2008 If you want corner holes, I'll use the PT-10 panel. If you don't want corner holes, I will cut a new panel for you and put studs in the corners.Either panel will have the standoffs pressed into it for mounting the PCB... Quote
Doug Wellington Posted October 5, 2008 Author Report Posted October 5, 2008 OK, one more update, since things seem to be going more smoothly than I expected. :D (Plus a couple people have already signed up for them on the wiki page, so I figured I should explain so that everyone knows what the options are...)I have designed a series of metal and wood cases for the various projects I am working on. (MB-808, MB-9090, Wilba's Sequencer, etc) One of my case designs is for projects that currently use the PT-10 plastic case from Pactec - http://www.pactecenclosures.com/Plastic-Enclosures/PT-10.html My design is a direct replacement - it uses the same top and back metal panels as the PT-10, so it is an easy upgrade. I am making these cases from various hardwoods and since I have to machine each piece of wood anyway, it's not a big deal to use different kinds of wood, so you all won't be limited to one choice...If you're interested in having me make one of these wooden cases to ship with your MB-6582 panels, please edit the group buy wiki page and put "wood" in the PT-10 column. Once I get an idea of how many of you are interested, I'll be able to get a better idea of the price. (I'm aiming for less than $50, depending upon which wood(s) you choose.)I'll publish designs and pictures over the next week or so. Quote
bugfight Posted October 5, 2008 Report Posted October 5, 2008 hehe i was joking a bit with the presumptuous wood entry, but since it's now real... woohoo! Quote
bleepsnbreaks Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 Nope... Even more a$$ end than that..... New Zealand.... :)Hi Bleeps,Which a$$ end country are you in? If you are referring to Australia, I saw JB Weld at a Mitre 10 hardware store in Perth a couple of days ago.edit- Fot those who may not know, Australia's former Prime Minister Paul Keating referred to Australia as the arse end of the world.

bleepsnbreaks Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 Doug, Are we able to get the lines just plain white aswell?Im making a green LED and LCD one with grey waldorf knobs and so rec or blue lines isnt really going to go with the overall theme but white to match the lettering would. Quote
Doug Wellington Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Posted October 6, 2008 Sure, I can do white lines... Hmm, I might even have some green ink somewhere... Quote
dreamer Posted October 6, 2008 Report Posted October 6, 2008 Hey doug, i've updated the wiki, but haven't updated the total cause don't now for sure how to update the total, could you please review my addition to the wiki cause i'm not sure if you understand what i've added. Quote
strophlex Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 Hey doug, i've updated the wiki, but haven't updated the total cause don't now for sure how to update the total, could you please review my addition to the wiki cause i'm not sure if you understand what i've added.The total doesn't make very much sense when there are several case designs to choose from. I can tell it has not been updated correctly by many people (including me) anyway. Quote
Wilba Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 A wood case for MB-6582? Wow...Can I have one in ebony please? ;D Quote
Doug Wellington Posted October 7, 2008 Author Report Posted October 7, 2008 "EB-oh-neee....! and EYE-vor-reeee! we're together in perfect..."*WHACK!*eep... shutting up now... Quote
bleepsnbreaks Posted October 7, 2008 Report Posted October 7, 2008 Sure, I can do white lines... Hmm, I might even have some green ink somewhere...Well if you have green and dont mind doing one in that then I would be stoked ! Green LEDs, green on black LCD and lines woudl look sweet.Just let me know when you are going ahead if you are able to do the green, otherwise Im happy with white....Thanks !bNbstike that actually, I think I would prefer white becuase then I can make it any other colour if I decide to :) the green will pretty much just leave me with green as an option :) Quote
bleepsnbreaks Posted October 9, 2008 Report Posted October 9, 2008 Also be very keen to see what those wood cases look like. That might be perfect for the x0xb0x I want to build aswell :) Quote
Doug Wellington Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Posted October 9, 2008 The original idea was indeed for the x0xb0x... :) Quote
bleepsnbreaks Posted October 10, 2008 Report Posted October 10, 2008 yep, thats gonna be the next project after the mb_8682..Then after that Im gonna attack making one of your mb_808 thingees.... :)so many projects so little time !:) Quote
Acid303 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Posted October 11, 2008 Hi,just ordered the PCBs from SmashTV...now i am looking for the panels. Is it still possible to order panels from Doug? How much will they cost (+ freight costs to germany)?I already have the PT10 case ....Thanks...Regards... Quote
Smithy Posted October 11, 2008 Report Posted October 11, 2008 Please go to http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/dougwellington_mb6582_panels and add your name to the list so I can get an idea of how many we need to make. Once I find out how many of you are interested, I can get a better idea of how much they will cost...DougIs it that hard to read the first post of a thread people! Quote
pavel Posted October 14, 2008 Report Posted October 14, 2008 Getting in while the getting is good ;D Quote
hantymansy Posted November 8, 2008 Report Posted November 8, 2008 It's been almost a month.. Anything new? Quote
toneburst Posted November 9, 2008 Report Posted November 9, 2008 I'm interested in this one too. I'm in the UK, and would be looking for a panel with either pale blue text and dividers, or white text and pale blue dividers, since I'm going with a blue LCD and LEDs.a|x Quote
highrider Posted November 9, 2008 Report Posted November 9, 2008 On the list for panel and wood case. Now of to Smash's shop for the boards and kit.... Quote
toneburst Posted November 10, 2008 Report Posted November 10, 2008 My order from SmashTV is apparently on it's way to me as I type, so that's exciting!I'm thinking maybe a PacTec PT-8 box for the SID v.1 I never quite got finished...a|x Quote
toneburst Posted November 12, 2008 Report Posted November 12, 2008 Can I be added to the list, please?Cheers!a|x Quote
Smithy Posted November 12, 2008 Report Posted November 12, 2008 Can I be added to the list, please?Cheers!a|xYes, you have my permission to add yourself:http://www.midibox.org/dokuwiki/dougwellington_mb6582_panels Quote
toneburst Posted November 13, 2008 Report Posted November 13, 2008 Don't worry. Being an impatient sort, I went ahead and ordered directly from Schaeffer, anyway, so I'm out now.Cheers guys,a|x Quote
