Re: sid_side.jpg

5 stars!

Extremely nice!!

Another MIDIbox of the week vote :slight_smile:

Where did you get the buttons from?

Best regards,

Hawkeye

Re: sid_top.jpg

You destroyed the ZX Spectrum, you should burn in hell :hmm:

Re: sid_side.jpg

very nice work, :thumbsup:

I hope that the ZX was already broken before the transformation …or at least you have another one

Regards

Antix

Re: sid_side.jpg

thanks for the kudos Hawkeye and Antix

yes arti492, I will burn in hell, but not for reusing a case for a speccy, I just bought the empty case

I might burn in hell for buing SID’s on ebay without knowing for shure that no Commodore was harmed in the process.

Besides what’s the bad thing about burning in hell anyway, that’s really all there is to do there :slight_smile:

the buttons are also a reuse from the same case

Re: sid_top.jpg

Nice work eptheca! a Norwegian cousin for my stereo SID hehee

Re: sid_side.jpg

:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Re: sid_top.jpg

thanks sineSurfer,

yes the elSID was definately an inspiration

I went for a simpler CS though for my first build

I might add a couple of buttons and led’s for filter options

for now I’m just thrilled with the sound :slight_smile:

This case end keys looks like brand new, you shouldn’t destroy so valuable case for the history. This is a loss for the world.

Best regards arti4-92.

Re: sid_side.jpg

Arti, while I understand your wish to preserve things, he has “just” converted an empty case - which would have rotten on some basement anywhere in the world - converting it to a much loved and often-used midibox is a great thing to do, so others can see how fine the zx spectrum 128k was (i did not know it before!). Also, this conversion was done with a lot of dexterity and good handicraft knowledge and I think it looks marvelous :slight_smile:

Bye,

Peter

Re: sid_side.jpg

Its 48k :slight_smile:

Re: detail_2

TK. should like the keys :thumbsup:

Re: guts of the 6581 chipped

looks nice and clean!

Re: guts of the 6581 chipped

thanks

the sammichSID base pcb does that for you :slight_smile:

Re: detail_2

I hope so :slight_smile:

Re: homage to The Creator

Gets my vote :thumbsup:

I wish I hadn’t thrown away my old spectrum.

Re: the brothers

The 128K is the best looking computer of the 80’s! Truly classic design. Also, I miss mine which I foolishly sold…

Re: guts of the 6581 chipped

Another nice spectrum case. :no:

Re: the brothers

BRILLIANT!

I you ask me, one of best looking

MBsid.
