Many SDSV are missing the outer black casing box. Their owners removed them in order to fit the brain into a standard 19″ rack. So if your SDSV brain demands a case, it is rather easy to make one yourself. all you need are two sheet metals, about 0.5mm thick (shouldn’t be much thicker or thinner), width x height = 600x300mm and an appropriate amount of “speaker skin”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is my Musicaid SDSV frame serial number #71 when I got it in 2010. Click here<\/a> to read more about the restoration of the electronics.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I got the metal sheets (made of stainless steel) from a local metalworker. He also bended the sheets for me. This picture shows an experimental stage with blue pushbuttons and the blank stainless steel case screwed to the brain.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Cutting the skin. It should protude about 5-10mm on every side because it will be wrapped around the sheet edges<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>glueing the skin onto the sheets. Take care that there are no air or glue bubbles under the skin<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>the top of the case. Both parts have the same size<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The holes which had been drilled into the sheets before. After the skin is glued I burned the holes with an old soldering iron through the plastic<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

now both parts are screwed to the frame. Doesn’t look too bad?!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>the bottom brain has an original case, the top one is the self made. The parts for the case cost about 25-50 Euro. And today, after 3 years, my old fubar Musicaid brain looks like a new one again<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
