Looking For Someone To Complete Last Stages of My MB-6582

[toneburst]

Hi guys,

this is a rather odd request, but some time ago, I started building one of Wilba's amazing MB-6582s. I bought all the parts, including the circuitboards from SmashTV, and started to put it all together. However, as those with long memories might remember, I hit a few problems, and eventually life, as it has a habit of doing, took over, and I ran out of time to spend on the project, sadly. I'd still really like to complete the project, but can't realistically see myself having the time to do it myself in the near future, so was wondering if (and I know this is a big ask), maybe I could commission one of the more experienced MIDIBox builders to complete the work for me. I'd say the project is around 2/3 to 3/4 complete, but then I don't know how much time would be needed to track down the bugs I was experiencing. I suspect one of the Core chips might be fried. I think all the SIDs are fine. I've soldered all of the main board, had the panel made by Schaefer, and got the box. I've also started work on the control panel electronics, so there's only really the LEDs, some switches, and getting the whole thing to work to do. I say 'only', but I have only the vaguest idea of what might be involved in the last bit, hence, in part, giving up on the whole thing all those months ago. Anyone any thoughts on whether they might be able to help me out at all? I'm of course willing to pay a fair price. I'm UK-based (London), so it might be easier transport-wise if someone else in the UK could help.

Anyone any thoughts? This is a preliminary enquiry, I can provide more specifics if anyone is interested.

Thanks a lot guys,

If you get help, you get it for free. I'll volunteer if you can't find anyone local.

Yeah good idea... send to nILS for fixing... he solders like a drunken monkey, but he gets the job done. :thumbsup:

Thanks for the fast replies, and kind offers, guys. This is exactly the helpful, friendly response I remember from my previous visits here!

I'm going to talk to sparx first, since he's just down the road from me.

Thanks again,
