orange_hand Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hi guys, I spent some time the last couple of days to complete another MB6582 with some improvements. Check out the SID sockets, they are brilliant. With a simple klick (better known as "no effort") you can install and remove the SID's. This time I went for a green control surface. The machine is called the "mean green SID machine" :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojjelito Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Looks really pro! Neatly organized and all that jazz... Where did you get the SID sockets and the nice TO-220 coolers? I spot lots of Reichelt, must go there to take a peek... Congrats on a great build! /J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilba Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 OMFG those sockets are awesome! If only I didn't solder boring sockets on my current base PCB.... I may have to build another one just to use these sockets. nILS, buy me 8 of them. Actually, make it 10... I should prove they are also awesome on sammichSID.

SpaceFire Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) Hi, Sorry for the newbie question, but what are the relevance of the 3 components with the heat sinks on? I ask because on my build two of them (the ones in line with the SID) are absent... Just wondering what they do? (my synth seems to function just fine just troubleshooting the build I recently received and learning the ropes so to speak) Thanks in adavnce, SF Edited July 14, 2014 by SpaceFire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilmenator Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 They are voltage regulators - there are a number of different options for powering this beast, so if they are not installed in your synth but the machine runs fine there is nothing to worry about!

SpaceFire Posted July 16, 2014 Report Share Posted July 16, 2014 Hi ilmenator, Thankyou for your reply, Interesting, helpful and insightful, because the LCD on my MB6582 is rather dim (back light seems ok-ish but low contrast on the display) and I have been looking into possible causes, someone mentioned a contrast adjustment, but I couldn't find where this might be or how to adjust it. I have read that the PSU can effect the more power hungry backlight displays, so I may have to change from the two separate supplies soldered together option implemented currently, apart from anything else they are German socket type and I live in the UK, I can hack to work it with a quick screwdriver to the earth socket (or more clumsy adapters), but it's inelegant to say the least.
