stryd_one Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Love the case mod! How'd you cut and join it so cleanly!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rio Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Nice keys from original keyPCB. How does you connect them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebo Posted August 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Hi Thanks for the comments.I cut the C64 case with a hacksaw (the kind that is used to cut metal), and the cutis not so clean, then I join the parts with glue (epoxi), but I adeded a piece of metalto the botom part, to increase the mechanical resistence. I add the black strip tocover 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 PCBwhere the copper lanes of the key contacts are. Then solder the wires to the lanes.Here is a picture of the synth opened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 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? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therezin Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Very cool, I love the idea of shortening the C64 case, and the keys for input is inspired ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebo Posted August 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 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 futurethe AOUT_LC and a filter.
