lcds received this day.
Many thanks Chris

Great news that everything is showing up so quickly and in good shape! Thanks for letting me know. I hope the other packages arrive quickly. I followed SmashTV’s instructions carefully so hopefully everything will go smoothly.
@olga42 - I guess you’re familiar with Austin (I just added that I was from there to my profile last night, LOL)? Funnily enough I had someone in the office ask me if I wanted to go to Chuy’s for lunch earlier today but unfortunately I had already eaten. :-) As for live music, this weekend is the Austin City Limits Music Festival so I’ll be doing that for the next 3 days!

Haha, this would be way OT, but sometimes you gotta pay respect to the Elvis shrine. Plus, we must all get our obligatory “Keep Austin weird” T-shirts from somewhere…
Now back to Mountain Dew, Aout and SSM-based good unclean fun. Enjoy the festival!
LCDs arrived today. No taxes makes me really happy.
Thanks fussy.
LCDs received today! 
Wow, the post is moving fast this week!
@olga - Man, I wish I had gotten in the MB community to get some of Seppoman’s PCBs (your comment reminded me to sign up). Hopefully he’ll do another run soon. In the meantime I guess I can buy a second Moogerfooger filter so I can do stereo, or I can always use this as an excuse to get a small modular setup (and possibly add in an external ADSR at the same time…).
smooth, no customs here either! Thank you very much for the effort !
Fussylizard, give a tought : http://www.synthtech.com/motm440.html
everything is vc controlled so you can just leave the pots out . PCB is 40 usd, worth it , as nothing comes close?
Hi Cris LCDs received today! ;)…this is not packaging…at this level of perfection ,this is ART…best regards ;Boop’s
@turuloid, boops - glad everything arrived safely! SmashTV’s advice probably paid off in making things go smoothly through customs. Glad you liked the packaging, boops. :-) Maybe next time I’ll splash out for the anti-static warning stickers instead of tape on the anti-static bags for that ultra-professional look…
@turuloid - That’s an interesting filter, thanks for the link! In general I’m not wild about the idea of using hard-to-find chips, but Seppoman’s board is nicely integrated w/ the AOUT_NG so it is rather convenient. But those MOTM modules do look *very* nice!
@fussylizard: yes, great packing, now I have enough bubble wrap for a batch of sammichSID kits

Glad I could help.
It was also nice to get rid of a bunch of bubble wrap I’d accumulated over the years and held onto in case I needed it for something. I bought fresh bubble wrap for individual LCD packing, but used the “recycled” bubble wrap to fill out each box of displays.
Optrex provides the datasheets, pinouts, drawings, etc. via their web site, but you have to sign up and they email it to you. There’s nothing special to it (uses a standard pinout), but I posted a PNG of the drawing and pinout at the start of this thread (http://www.midibox.org/forum/index.php/topic,14045.msg120798.html#msg120798) in case you want it without hassling with the Optrex site.
Received mine today. Thanks!!!
same, received this morning.
Smoothie!
thanks, Chris.
@vcfool, kartoshka - thanks for letting me know! I like checking names off my list.
If anyone else has received their LCDs yet but has not posted here or sent me an email/PM, please do so. I’m holding a few LCDs in reserve in case someone’s package gets lost but once everyone has theirs I can make those available to others that might be interested in them.
Thx,
C
