I'm obviously a sucker for punishment... Now I want to replace the PSUs for the CVs :-D (Yes my Hanimex has no PSU) I was thinking this Transformer should do the job, assuming it was cased suitably... https://au.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Bel-Signal-Transformer/16-560-LPI?qs=0%2F2GmT7MRM8PiM2cPCp8WQ%3...

Wonderful work!!!!! Will you be able to use the original top keyboard layer? Alas no. The buttons and caps stick up far too much for that.

I didn't want to mention anything until I was sure, but yeah. they actually genuinely work. I am amazed.
I'll release the KiCAD documents and Gerbers tomorrow John

John

Haha! That is AWESOME!

Well done @username@ and thanks for sharing, Scouter3D

Cheers!

Wish me luck, folks

It won't be this fortnight, but I'll aim to get a new set of boards ordered next fortnight
(It takes quite a long time for the orders to get to me, so don't expect any updates for a month or so, I'm afraid.)

OK I unscrambled the scrambled lines, put horrible dodgy fly leads in and... It actually works! As a 0.1alpha product, it actually works. I am amazed .
