When stuffing my 320 LFO boards I found myself annoyed by amount of time the
resistors took. I now have a whole different perspective on electronic kit
building after buying this used humongus mega-organ that was built from a kit:
http://members.aol.com/elhardt/images/galaxy.jpgIt came with a 4 inch stack of 27 manuals and booklets full of schematics,
parts lists, PCB layouts and assembly instructions. The 320 now looks like
heaven now.
Funny note: I received the thing today, plugged it in without the speackers
connected just so I could see all the pretty lights come on. I engaged all
the buttons on the right of the keyboard so they were all lit. It was like
Christmas. I ran upstairs for a minute to get my digital camera to take a
photo, but when I came back downstairs the organ was dead. It blew two 4 amp
fuses. Before I could even hear it produce a single note I had to drive to
Radio Shack for fuses. I have now learned not to turn all the buttons on at
the same time, and this is a good example of how much current all those damn
LEDs draw.
