Have finally bought a used NL3. Yay! Loved it 20 years ago, glad to finally have one.
Anyway, planning stuff, already have the fuse and need to open to convert to 230V… but im wondering can anyone share the dimensions of the flat metal area to the right of the control area with the knobs? Im thinking it’s probably perfect for my MKI Elektron Analog Four, and can in the Nord into its inputs to use its lovely effects with the a Nord too.
Lead 3 dimensions of metal area on the right?

The easiest solution that comes to mind, is using a tape measure yourselfdarwiniandude wrote: ↑03 Nov 2025, 09:25 Have finally bought a used NL3. Yay! Loved it 20 years ago, glad to finally have one.

Ahh! I left out a useful piece of information by mistake - I have the fuse ready for voltage conversion, but the NL3 itself has not yet arrived. In fact it has not yet shipped from the seller. So I’m just getting ahead of myself with planning

Did you confirm the size of the fuse holder? There are two different possibilities (Metric / Imperial sizes)...darwiniandude wrote: ↑05 Nov 2025, 09:42 Ahh!
