I need to do a stock take… But I have jacks and knobs…
Today I received a Yamaha CS2X, it was £70+post. Ad said untested as no PSU.
Works perfectly, just needed 10 new knobs which I printed this afretnoon.
Probably wont keep it, although I understand it more than I did with the previous one I had last year… Probably move it on now that it’s confirmed working and make a nice 100% proffit to go and buy modules with 
Dual voltage-controlled panner/crossfader pcbs came in today. I’ll go through testing and assembly, then post them here.
I fell for the Thonk sale and picked up this thing.
Plus an order for a few odds n sods for another diy synth I hope to build soon came this week.
Won’t get underway until brew day is over. 
I received 3 packages the last week, the fun will go on…
A lot of different pots and knobs (and box no. 21)
Special ICs (AS3310/20/30/40 and 60, Elec Druid ENV Gen)
And finally the correct version of CD4011:
RCA CD4011s! They’ve been dredged up from somewhere obscure…
for sure. but they work fine, and finally the T2700 sounds like a drum machine 
The Chips look used, but I’ve tested them with the TL866ii Plus and they are ok.
btw: a very nice and helpful tool, not only to program EEPROMS but also to identify and check logic chips:

Do explain. I had some bad panels a while ago. They remedied this by giving me a fitting voucher. What was wrong with yours?
Well first they were not supposed to be white….lol
There’s silkscreen ink all over.
There’s weird splits in all of the rectangles as if they sat on a drying rack or something
I think im gonna try pcbway…
I noticed the horizontal lines in the silkscreen that appear to be aligned with the drilled holes, earlier when you posted and was unsure if these were a design decision. Some of the text also looked smudged, probably acceptable if these were markings for components. Maybe the quality will improve as the alu boards are new at JLC, unfortunately this does not help for now.
My Al panels were white too, but they were supposed to be, and the silkscreen was good — pretty much indistinguishable from what I’m used to with FR4. I suspect this was an exceptional bad day.
Does anybody know where Sam makes his panels and boards? The stuff from JLC seems to vary in quality w/r/t silkscreening, sometimes it’s nice and thick, other times it is translucent.
I ordered a few panels on aluminium from JLCPCB a few weeks ago. The top 2 in this picture are fine. The other 3 not so much. It looks like there is a surplus of paint on the RHS of those panels.
Well, I only needed 2, and they compensated me for the other ones.
At least JLC didn’t try and fix their mistakes on yours with a Sharpie like they did on some of my panels I had them make.
Sorry that they screwed up your panels so horribly.
Power supply bits, proper power cables, and a few pots for the VCDO. Not pictured are the jack sockets.
Should have enough here to make it through the coming winter:
Four modules and a t-shirt arrived today. Safety Valve, Mini ADSR, VCLF010 and the Filter Grrr. Now to work out what components I have and what I don’t.
