i'd like 1 board

So you figured out the trimming and have these fully operational? I'd probably take 4.

I would also be interested in doing a buchla format panel for these if people are interested. I could just do the original or make it as a double, which would be 4 ring mods but would still only take up about half the panel... I am open to ideas.

Hell yes I'd take a few

Also, I have an original 111 Buchla Dual Ring Modulator module... so if there is a need for pics or info, just send me a PM.

NOW someone build the 196 Phase Shifter, and we can all do some killer frequency shifting patch madness 8_)

Up for two please !

Are these PCBs a single RM (i.e. 1/2 of a 111), or two?

If single RMs, I'll take 4 - otherwise 2! (For 4 RMs total)

Thx!

Did you redraw the exact original pcb ? Any hard to find parts on this one ?

2 here!

raisinbag · Post by **raisinbag** » Wed Oct 24, 2012 9:54 pm

So is it using 3904 and 3906's? I'd grab one then. I don't think I have built anything other than guitar pedals that use no ic's. Cool!
