I distinctly remember being very impressed, inspired even, by some pics of a completed MIDIBox SID housed in an original C64 Mk.1 case. I remember the maker saying they made all their own encoder caps and buttons, and remember being very impressed by how professional it looked and how they’d made the control surface look completely authentic. I’d like to have another look at the pics, which I’m pretty sure were posted in the MIDIBox of The Week forum, but I can’t find them now. Does this ring any bells with anyone? I also remember the person who made it saying they worked in a model-making workshop…
Hehe, I think it was originally wrong on the CS layout on the ucapps website, which the ‘mystery SID’ was built from, hence carrying over the typo.
The one I was thinking of had a plastic CS, which was made to look like it was moulded all in one with the case itself.
YES, YES, that’s the one Jaicen!!
I’m not so much of a fan of sticking a metal panel on the front of an old C64 case. I was really impressed my 'Mr X’s attention to detail, and as you said, the way he made the controls look like they could have been original was really cool. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to the tools and equipment he had, but I’d still love to see the photos again.
