Pictures of my MB64

[strophlex]

I have completed my first MidiBox project, it might not be that big, but it is beautiful don't you think?

My MidiBox64 consisting of a core, an ain with 30 pots, a din with four buttons and a 16x2 lcd housed in a 50's-style radio chassis.

... but it is beautiful don't you think?

... yes indeed! - Too bad you can't see the tubes glow  :D

Nice work.

Hehehe, I saved the old interior in a plastic bag in case I find use for the tubes etc. The old transformer supplies 60-something volts! My next project is rebuilding the PIC using tubes  ;)

I like your box too. :)

Which knobs are those (in the upper half)?

Thanks!

I used ALPS 13,5mm black knobs from connrad. I don't know the part name, but here is a link to the shops product site.

you idea is so cool and very well done !

interesting ..nice use for an old radio (allbeit one should avoid sabotaging antique ones ;) )

good work :)

[strophlex]

I guess the price tag is a good indication if it should be sabataged or not... I chosed between this one $8 and a gorgeous one for $40 but I would never have the heart to destroy that beauty.

Sweet case :)

I used ALPS 13,5mm black knobs from connrad.

Thanks Strophlex! They reminded me somewhat of the Alesis 3630 knobs I was looking for long ago, but was never able to find.

Again, good work on the box. :)

Very nice.  I like the retro tape selector buttons at the bottom especially.

You could always drill out the bottom of some valves and stick flickering LEDs in them.  Hey it's good enough for Behringer and Korg ...
