Work in progress, little update

Hi all,
had some time to work on the projects again. I'm out of sockets again (does someone know where to get a good deal?), out of 680 Ohm resistors and some MKT caps. Aww, can happen of course. Anyway, here you see the Klee PCBs and the Buchla 281 clone pcbs, a Quadrature Function Generator. Nice little project by Toppobrillo, check out his site. He has some nice euro style modules for sale.
For the Klee I needed some 0.1% 100k resistors. Not very easy to get in mainland Europe. I'm a big fan of Skrog Productions, good music (buy his CDs!) and an awesome dude! Dave helped me to get the necessary precision resistors. Big thanks!

That's it for now. Have a very nice weekend.

Cheers,
Woody

Repairing a Ringmodulator

Hi all,
Got some DIY gear build by Sam Zen. One of the things is a device with 6 ringmodulators.
And a picture of the insides:
It's based on TBA120s, ZM-FM amplifier with demodulator. It doesn't work yet, think I have to replace some components, especially the tantalum capacitors. Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Woody

Just a little update: Buchla Lopass Gate clone

Hi all,

thanks for stopping by. Have a lot of modules on the bench now, most are 'almost finished.' They need a switch, some jacks, potentiometers or a panel, and some testing of course. First of this batch that is finished: the Buchla Lopass Gate clone. I got the PCB many months ago from Thomas White. More information on this project on his website: http://www.naturalrhythmmusic.com/lopass.html



Will do a demo soon!

Cheers,
Woody
