Finally, an affordable CD Transport: the Shigaclone story

[johnm]

Thanks everyone for the help - as you can see it's working perfectly now

Here's a picture of one of my power supplies. For the JVC I used dual 9V secondaries on a toroid. Keeps the voltage reg' nice and cool.

Looks really good - love the point to point construction as well!

This is a cheap Alba boom-box from a boot sale (£2.50) under test..It's worth looking around and testing things out..

[audio1st]

And fitted into a chopping board..just need to connect up display and decide on finish/ colour. No remote with this one though.

Very VERY nice - very impressed... and a tad envious to haha! Looks like Peter's lovely creations have some visual competition

Hello ,

what diodes are you using in that PS ?

Hi audio 1st .
That is what you call real breadboard construction , mind the crumbs though it looks great..:

Will start mine and use some oak timber for the transport.

The picture above shows which parts and connectors to remove from the micro-controller board.



This picture shows where to make the connections to the micro-controller pcb. Be extremely careful as any mistakes may result in a RUINED micro-controller. The micro-processor on this board is a mask programmed part which was available to OEM users only, and is now discontinued.

Note the red wire in the foreground left this is 12V_SW, directly behind is the red/black wire which is power control.



This picture shows the location of the wire used to power the led. Cut jumper on other side of the pcb at this location.


Please ring out and verify connections using audio board and psu before making modifications. Be extremely careful, I cannot be held responsible for mis-wiring or mistakes in these directions. (I've tried to make them as clear as possible.) Use at your own risk!
