Re: Red VPC1, modified by Ravensworks Design
(Am I getting banned from this forum too?)
It's the intestines of an old Roland rompler. When the plywood box is done, I'll wrap it in black tolex, with some minor chrome trimming (switches, knobs and stuff). Then it can discretely MIDI my iPad/Neo Soul Keys ... not so shiny, not so red! Darn ugly!
But I'll need a few more rainy Sundays, when no "farmwork" can be done, to finish this bastard.
I'll be back ...

Yup, Frantz ... it was a U20. My third. Got it on eBay for 14:-EUR. Slightly damaged buttons etc, but OK electronics.

Edit: some progress made ...

Re: Red VPC1, modified by Ravensworks Design
Marlowes, have you checked / replaced the rubber contacts ?
You're very lucky if rubbers / contacts are ok coz' 14 € is less than the price for rubbers

Re: Red VPC1, modified by Ravensworks Design
Frantz: well ... I know I'll have to disassemble & clean the keybed before taking the reincarnated U20 for a ride.
Did that with U20 No 1 and No 2. They both became fully functioning after my treatment, so I guess I almost(?) know how to proceed.
It's great fun to restore stuff, but this was in too bad shape and honestly, who loves the U20 anyhow?
