Sequential circuits samplers

ben,

yeah i got it to work!, i guess the connector wasnt seated right. i 
re-used the original 14 pin segment off the lcd. de-soldered and re-
soldered it on the vfd. i was able to rig it so that the nuts on the 
posts were re-used on 2 posts (catty corner fom each other) and 
turned like 2 turns if that. so as long as im not throwing the 440 
around.. its totally cool.  also desoldered switches to checkout and 
move...

the switches are 12 mm tacs that are molded to the sprung base of the 
cap.( the cap itself is latched over the back of the base with 2 tiny 
plastic latches. i broke one half trying to get one apart and figures 
id better not break both. ) but i guess worst case (switch totally 
functionless) you could dremel off the tac and replace it with 
another 4 pin 12mm tac thats epoxy'd or j-b welded onto the original 
switch base. i moved the midi fucntion switch to the sample edit 
position and vice versa.. that one gets MUCH more use. im going to 
figure out either a replacement or repair if it kills me. 

also added a yellow led at the top kit/inout level led position. 
(just for kicks) might change out the ones on the sapler, sequencer 
and system sections. just for fun.   and also replaced the data 
slider... 
the slider they send you is the wrong type as well. its an 
exponential slider, not logarhytmic. half length is not half on 
slider value. agggggggr. maybe original but in my mind not correct. 
gonna look for a log slider thats even close in throw and dremel out 
the face plate to match length.

so its now pretty a pretty jacked out 440 with the scsi cf card 
drive, new slider , vfd and simple led switchout. the cf crad drive 
is the shit. you should do it. 

ill try and post a picture or 2 this week.

thanks for the help!
