My very first order from Thonk - believe it or not lolol.
I will say, it left a lasting impression - well packaged and all that but… I ordered this on Sunday… it shipped yesterday… Thonk is in the UK, and I am in Wisconsin. lolol. How. The. Hell.
For 11 dollar FedEx shipping that is nuts.
Love it when everything fits on the first try. I had these panels laser cut out of Delrin. They’ll hold the mains connectors, fuse, switch, transformer and ground terminal for my new cases. The great thing about Delrin is that threading can be tapped into it.
New wood for a small case! This one should be very flat (8cm) to be put on a table horizontally. Let’s see if that works! First I need to cut the boards in half, because at the shop they could not cut to 8cm width.
A good couple weeks. lol
The plan is to build up a mini “buchla” rack
Cool, how do you drive them?
I’m not sure yet, i’m looking to build a microphone preamp based on the pleiades v6 by a guy named euroelectron on blogspot. I like the ef183(6eh7) version and i am going to try it with this one.
Received some PCBs within a week after ordering them from JLCPCB (although I had chosen the cheapest shipping option (14-18 days)!
From left to right:
A 555 Techno Kick from Newy which is going in my “suck at soldering until one gets good at the thing” pile because the first batch has a kludge in the instructions for an extra 100k resistor between the base of Q4 and ground or the transistor side of the switch and ground.
-Fumu / Esopus
Got some light reading in the mail.
One thing though, all pics are in B&W, even the ones of the ‘modern’ stuff.
Been a little bit since I posted here, got myself some parts and a new module to make.
100k pots, low profile 10uf caps, 16-10pin power connectors, 8pin dip sockets, ca3080, bunch of stripboard and a Befaco Even VCO =D
Looking forward to building the VCO, it’s so well documented and it came with stickers =O lol
Yeah, the Even VCO’s pretty nice, that was my second Eurorack build. Only a 10 position octave switch though, how limiting… 
It looks like it’s gonna be fun to build. Going to sort the bits out today and probs build it tomorrow.
I think the range is from whale to mouse lol gotta have dog hearing to appreciate the full range XD
what are they , look complex with the smd package
The smd stuff on the right is for a simple clock module. I built it this morning but I had not looked closely enough at the onboard regulator’s datasheet when designing and the pins are reversed! This is typical. The silver lining is that, I have since learned, there were many other stupid or redundant design choices I made, so I’m happy to go back to the drawing board!
