Hi all:
I finished my MIDIbox SID. I just called Mini64 for the look.
It sounds really great, Thanks a lot to Thorsten and all for this
really great project !!!
Here are som pictures:
hey, that’s a nice one Sebo!
So cute!
Love the case mod! How’d you cut and join it so cleanly!?
Nice keys from original keyPCB. How does you connect them?
Hi Thanks for the comments.
I cut the C64 case with a hacksaw (the kind that is used to cut metal), and the cut
is not so clean, then I join the parts with glue (epoxi), but I adeded a piece of metal
to the botom part, to increase the mechanical resistence. I add the black strip to
cover the join.
Then I cut a part of the original keyboard, took out the keys I don’t want to use,
I move the numbers to a middle position, and then I drill 1mm holes in the PCB
where the copper lanes of the key contacts are. Then solder the wires to the lanes.
Here is a picture of the synth opened.
Thanks for the inside information 
I can see you’ve made an effort to fold those ribbon cables nicely… Are you a desktop technician or a case modder?
:o well done!! nice idea to reuse the c64-case and parts!
Very cool, I love the idea of shortening the C64 case, and the keys for input is inspired ;D
Sweet! That shortened C64 case is a really cool idea…very different!
Thanks for all the comments.
The mini64 is working great, and I’m doing some nice sounds with it.
I’m about to add a noise gate to avoid the VCA leak, and in a near future
the AOUT_LC and a filter.
Cool case mod!
