Or sometimes you'll hear people call it Panduit, named after the main comany that sells it. Link: http://www.panduit.com/products/browse.asp?classid=1006 And you're right about the benefits of working in electronics. Although I think the woodworkers around here learn the wiring a lot faster than us electronics guys learn the woodworking, lol. -Stobe --- End quote --- Hah, you couldn't be more right about the woodwork !!! It's definitly my biggest hurdle, and I'm already very much convinced that I will have my CP done by a "pro". Of course, this will not give the satisfaction of DIY but I prefer good quality over my poor woodworking skills anyday. That's also why I bought a "ready" Jamma cab. Well, I get my satisfaction on the neat build-up in the electronics section and mostly of course, playing !!! |

The woodwork is not at all difficult if you take your time and measure everything twice, before you cut it. It just needs a bit of patience. The quality will come if you take your time and don't try to rush it. It's the same with anything that's new to you. Don't be afraid of it! have a go! The only way to learn something new is to get out and do it. Anybody can do it, if they want to. Best Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear) |

Todays award for best pep-talk goes to Fozzy Bear ! :D But then I skip to another thread http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=51658.0 and then I read this: --- Quote ---These really are a nice little bit of kit.... Nothing complex about them, or difficult to the degree that they couldn't be made up on a bit of strip board, but having one off the shelf for what looks to be about the same amount that I'd have to pay for the components themselves is very nice! You can put me down for a 5V kit version one, with Blue LEDs please Smiley Best Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear) --- End quote --- And does that take the air out of your encouraging words or not ! ;););) I'd build one of these from a piece of veriboard in seconds, or make another solution. This doesn't mean this product isn't a solution for other people. It's the same for me about the CP. Sure I can make a box out of a couple of pieces of wood, but as far as the actual CP itself I could never produce something like Knievl Kustoms used to offer (and hopefully will offer once again). Take a look at this: http://www.knievelkustoms.com/kustomwork.htm I don't have a router and don't want to buy one for the sake of one CP. Also the pre-drilled Lexan top is very appealing....looks like Knievl is using some pro-machines to get this done. All in all, it doesnt matter really, all up to each persons' capabilities and time mostly ! |

Ahhh! no, but that's just another excuse for not having a go!! ;) Well at least I hope it doesn't take the air out .... As I said I could quite as easily build one on a bit of strip board, but given for the same price I can have a PCB, which would you choose. I suppose I could even etch my own PCB. But you will notice I asked him for the kit version so that I can assemble it myself, and not for the off the shelf version. The electronics is my weakest area, but I'm not afraid to get in there and have a go at it. I look at it this way, If I screw it up and get something wrong then at least I learned something about how not to do it!... I'm not afraid of screwing it up! (says the bear as he glances at a pile of fried chips LOL ;D ) Best Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear) |
