I got it here:
http://www.justoffbase-tools.co.uk/tools.asp?parent=1I2166P1248M0
although it seems to have gone up in price a bit, IIRC I paid 49 ukp for it.

Good thinking - get rid of the MAQs before I get into large scale P3
production and kill the secondhand market for them ;-)

Hi there, 

I remember some mention of having to shave a slight bit off one of the boards, in order to fit them in the hammond case.

Is this right, or am i mistaken (often am)?

If so, itlld be clever of me to do this before i start soldering stuff in place.

Any more info?

Cheers, Julian

Well, three more in the legendary "P3_Stoned" series are up. So now
there are 30 of the feckers. None are too remarkable - but you'll be
expecting that now. 

As ever they were knocked up whilst in a relaxed state of mind hence
some of the oddness, sudden lurches in tempo or mood and an
appreciation for extreme repetition...

No29 has some of the percussion of the Electribes added from the P3
but that was kind of an accident. Actually the whole track was.

The last of them includes tablas where the shifts (and therfore the
instrument changes - due to the key mapping of the V-Synth) are done
using the P3's accumulator.

Mr Maddox will be the expert on this, but I understand he's attending a
zither music convention in Germany.

Am i right in thinking that the p3 isnt that fussy as to its power supply?

Is it that pretty much any old 9v supply is suitable?  I always seem to have a stack of spare novation supplies: theyre 9v dc at 600ma.  Im assuming that one of these would be fine?

I have no idea if theyre regulated or unregulated, but then the p3s regulator is there anyway, right?

Thankyou, Julian

It will take AC or DC between 8 and 12 volts.
I use a 9v AC output regulated transformer rated at 500mA.
I would suggest 500mA as a minimum rating.

That should be fine, yes.

Yep. And there is a diode that either acts as a half-wave rectifier for
AC, or a reverse polarity protector for DC.
