Spectacular work! Really a labour of love, and it shows. I bet it sounds fantastic, and every time you sit down to use it you'll have such a sense of achievement after all that hard work.

Congratulations!

Great job man, so glad to see your baby is up and running!

Send us over a mix when you find the time!

Very well done. How did you make the metal frames to hold the 500 size module?. And did you use a motherboard to plug them all into?

Cheers

Thanks Boji thanks Ian....

Especially Ian cause he gave me lots of great advice on my questions....

 

[iprovlek]

Ian my idea from beginning was to relief complexity of mechanical work to me and my friend who help me

to use only solid wood and somekind of shelf....something that I found on Capi site


There is no motherbaord only edge connectors 30 pins...I put pics of it


I didnt put all pictures of bulding cause there are a lot of it

And look at this picture Ian...

 

[iprovlek]

And start idea from Capi site

Here is edge connectors and way I do it....

 

[iprovlek]

Soldering edge connectors...so there is no motherbard!

 

[iprovlek]

This board taught me a lot....I soldered and desoldered it a few times, with no matter on planning,thinking and counting any stage of doing it....

Cause it always something came up....

 

[rock soderstrom]

[iprovlek]

Thanks Rock....

Soldering edge connectors...so there is no motherboard

That's how they did it way back when. Had the opportunity to look over Les Paul's 70's console. It was nearly all edge connector brackets and P2P as well, power and buses looked to be solid core wire.
