Funnily enough a thread on the very same encoders was bumped today after a long gap:

http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,11983.0/topicseen.html

Id say theyre fine for hand soldering, just ask futureman.

I just stumpled across this guy on eBay:

http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/artronicpl/

Lots of nice lcds..even some with RGB backlight, that allows you to create a backlight color of your own choice!

I havent bought anything from him yet (waiting till he gets the buy-it-now option, which he said would happen as soon as he has 5 points).

If anyone buys from him, please let us know if they are good/bad/awesome/etc :)

My package from artronic just arrived. A 4x20 backlit display.

Took me two minutes to get all the way into the package. :D Envelope -> 300 layers of tape -> sturdy cardboard -> bubblewrap -> anti static bag.

I haven't got a rig to test the display with yet but it feels solid. Prize was good, delivery quick and packaging excellent.

Just looking through ebay and I found a x0xbox.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/x0xb0x-xOxbOx-Analog-Synthesizer-TB-303-Clone-Killer_W0QQitemZ110294551153QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item110294551153&_trkparms=72%3A1301|39%3A1|66%3A2|65%3A12|240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

The knobs look terrible, surely the pots should have been trimmed... a "qualified synth/service technician" would have finished it off properly.

Yeah i am in for 2 or 4 if we can't make it.

I have a usa adres (a special service bust costs alot) but the seller can send them to smash too!

US buyers only - so someone buy them and sell me some!!!! Seriously!

paypal me some monies + forwarding shipping costs and i can send them overseas, i ship antique car parts all over the world daily... just sent some 1959 ford reproduction rocker moldings to new zeland and a set of 58 ford washboard trim panels to australia today! (holy cow it costs a lot to send 80 inch long rocker moldings fedex to new zeland!)

on a side note.. i just bought a cherry c64 with a 6581 from ebay last week and i just got it home today from the shop, ran a sid test with basic and it seems to be making the right noises.  (w00t!) (ps... i only paid like $14 US for it, INCLUDING SHIPPING!)  guess who's going to be building a midibox-sid soon... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=380103735568

i got them on watch, the autction has still got like 9 days on it.

(the end price may end up more than $79.00 +$19.00 shipping, depending on who all bids on them.)

if someone overseas wants to bid and win it... you can use me for a shipping post in the states.

i'll email my shipping address if needed.
