Hi all:

Love the case mod! How'd you cut and join it so cleanly!?

[Rio]

Nice keys from original keyPCB. How does you connect them?

Hi Thanks for the comments.

I cut the C64 case with a hacksaw (the kind that is used to cut metal), and the cut

is not so clean, then I join the parts with glue (epoxi), but I adeded a piece of metal

to the botom part, to increase the mechanical resistence. I add the black strip to

cover the join.

Then I cut a part of the original keyboard, took out the keys I don't want to use,

I move the numbers to a middle position, and then I drill 1mm holes in the PCB

where the copper lanes of the key contacts are. Then solder the wires to the lanes.

Here is a picture of the synth opened.

Thanks for the inside information ;)

I can see you've made an effort to fold those ribbon cables nicely... Are you a desktop technician or a case modder? ;)

:o well done!! nice idea to reuse the c64-case and parts!

[Therezin]

Very cool, I love the idea of shortening the C64 case, and the keys for input is inspired ;D

Sweet! That shortened C64 case is a really cool idea...very different!

Thanks for all the comments.

The mini64 is working great, and I'm doing some nice sounds with it.

I'm about to add a noise gate to avoid the VCA leak, and in a near future

the AOUT_LC and a filter.

Cool case mod! ;)
