Soo, here is the first aluminum panel that I made. Sam’s MS20 filter in Eurorack size. For the first time I am quite satisfied, but I also learned 2 things. First of all, take more time to glue. Second, trying to remove air bubbles with a bank card is a stupid idea, you can see that on the cutoff lettering and the scale … But what the heck, it’s the first time something like this can happen, it’s part of the learning process.

Its comming along nicely. Time for a cuppa break I think. The only part ive guessed at is the trim pots orientation, ez fix if its wrong tho.
Trim pot orientation doesn’t matter here, so you’re good.

My mixer’s (internal) power supply needed to be recapped. I’d been holding off because I always had something going that I didn’t want to unplug. Tonight was the night, though. Here are the internals pre-op:
It’s hard to tell, but one of the big caps was really bulging. I discovered this when I got the mixer back in March or April:
I had some nice Sprague 10,000uF that were meant for a different project that never materialized:
And we’re back to normal:
I measured the capacitance of the retired caps. The one that wasn’t bulging measured 10,000 bang on, the other one measured 9,500. Not a big difference, but it was clearly going downhill.

They should be 10000 mu-F, shouldn’t they? Still close to spec I would say. Did you notice anything in the behaviour of the mixing desk that made you want to check its power supply?
Yes, 10,000 μF. Hadn’t noticed anything that I could pin on that, but I opened it up to clean it when I got it and the deformity was noticeable.

3.5 mm, that’s extremely short, for a cable.

I bought this self-adhesive transparent film and printed it with the laser printer. There are different versions, also for inkjet printers. It is easy to work with.
