Thanks! uncountable hours inside of three months.Fortunately I was oblivious to how long it would take when I began!Still a few details to finish up as well.Bloody 'ell....Respect, that looks awesome. How long did it take?
Thanks.I was not familiar with the term Steam Punk,so I looked it up.That is a good desription indeed.

Sorry to dig this up i been playing with mine after Puffin did the mods for me and wow nice work and even better sound.
I made one mod my self and that was the LED for power on, now blue! Dead easy took 5 mins inc strip and rebuild. Tricky a little with how Puffin did the mods.
Anyway there is some talk over the blue light and lasers reading disc so i want to add one (least i think 1 will be okay) but where is the best location
1 - Mount the LED
2- Get the power from?

Here is my last work on 8mm aluminum box and solder all the side pieces. Front 10mm thick and weighs 9.600 kg
Whit magnetic Clamp, in this assembly using two pairs of Wima in the DAC output, the sound is fabulous...
Any resemblance to the Accustic Arts Drive II is pure coincidence.

Fabulous stuff.
I didn't realise this thread was still so active.
I got as far as building a linear supply a couple of years back, but got distracted by other projects.
It seems i have a lot of catching up to do.

Is/was this a PS? Be nice if before and after sound clips were posted. Amazing work if it used to be a PS chassis.

I'll try to make a video with a Pentax Kr only to see the operation because the sound is not certainly the best.
A few more who have built and made me happy and made others happy...

Has anyone some good advice or tips on how i should go about removing the old RCA's (3 of them), the AV out and serial out?
Im wanting to make it cleaner looking.

I take the RCA plugs and all series, use a solder-sucker JBC, is the most appropriate way.

Sadly the caps got broken from puffins mod. It's now just running directly off the DAC where he tapped into it into a set of RCA's that are earthed to serial IO.
Have bluetacked the lid shut button down so it can play topless
Blue laser led mod done, looks cool sound better
Honestly can not tell the difference with or without caps and resistors

I dismount and hired all the pins on the board of the IR, so you can put everything inside the box.

Quite fantastc thread, 7 years+...
During the past weeks I have read thru the pages and I'm going to implement some of the ideas into my 1002. Does anyone recall why removing the muting transistors was a good idea? I don't remember any explanation to this and can't find the reason trough searcing the thread.

This is basically what they do :-
The muting transistors serve a purpose. When no music is playing, when the micro-controllers are busy with themselves, sometimes some creepy noise will leak out. You don't hear them on stock CD players as the output muting transistors work as they describe. They mute out such rubbish. After this tweak, you might hear these weird noises. This is perfectly OKAY. If this bothers you, then put back the muting transistors.
