[sdiy] Keeping Busy this weekend

[Rude 66]

wow.. and i thought the 16 switches, 9 pots and 25 led's i had to mount to
the new frontplate of my sn76477 synth was a lot.. and that took me most of
the weekend, including the wiring. ..;-) it's 90% done now, i'll have pics
and sounds on my web page when it's ready.
