Roman 208 build pics - Version 2

Some pics taken during the build of this wonderful module.

It's not a Buchla Module, but should be compatible with most Buchla modules.

It follows the same size, format & the circuits used are I understand based on Don's schematics.


I'd say it took about 40 hours to put this together. It's more difficult than the TTSH (ARP 2600 clone).
I just finished it last night and couldn't believe that it worked first time.
So excited !!! I just had to post some pics.

 These are pics of the motherboard.

There are 12 daughter boards which plug into the main motherboard.

The cards are very tight to plug in.

One of the main difficulties was sourcing rare components from all over the world.



The partly populated front panel.

The original Buchla used plastic slider pots (above module). For this new version, I've substituted modern metal pots.


Almost finished.

The LEDs are a bit tricky to install.


You can buy the PCBs for this project from "The Electric Music Store".
ModularSynthesis.com is another very useful site - awesome build notes.
