Sorry Bajaman (and everyone else).
I got SLAUGHTERED by deadlines this week. I'll post the requested info in the next day or two — promise!

joegore, The files came up empty when I checked. Could you post them again? Like fuzzes,
there is no such thing as too many delays.
(In my case it started with the Echoplex.)
BTW, is the OP the fabulous guitar player from Orange Symphony and possibly Tipsy{a personal favorite} as well?
Your writing for many years at Guitar Player is to be commended also.
I just saw yer note^

No need for the apologies Joe
we can all wait for a few more days - we have waited for years to finally get this one cracked.
Once i get a view of the missing tracks, i will generate a full working schematic.
One problem - MN3005 delay chips are allmost impossible to procure these days - the MN3205 is still available but does not have as good low distortion specs as the MN3005 - it also requires a different clock driver IC and pin configuration layout, but it should be easy to generate a board layout to accomodate this chip and it's driver with only minor modifications.
Not wishing to gloat, but i still have a MN3005 in my spare parts drawer - you can guess what it is going to be used for - not a DM-2 clone!!!???
thanks so much for the pictures so far Joe.

what about the cool audio chips, i thought they had a mn3005 repro IC?bajaman wrote:No need for the apologies Joe

The are some on Ebay right now. I bought two from a seller I've dealt with before issue free.

Okay, I've posted the under-the-pots pics Bajaman requested. They're at http://idisk.mac.com/joegore-Public?view=web in Way Huge Aqua-Puss/Under the Pots folder.
I can also confirm the pot values: The Delay pot is B1M, and the Feedback and Mix pots are both B50K.
This is serial #150, and its dated later than the one in the pic Fuzzer posted yesterday.
P.S.: Yeah Noel, I'm the guy from Oranj Symphonette and Tipsy. Though in the latter case, just I just went in for a session and improvised a hundred or so guitar ideas to disk. Ten or 12 years later I still seem to be appearing on everything Tipsy releases.

Thanks so much Joe
I should be able to finish the double sided board layout now.
Is it possible to get a further picture under the sticky insulator at the smaller board end by the power supply filter capacitors - not essential, but would be helpful all the same.
One final request - would you please supply the capacitor codes for the ceramic capacitors ( eg: 101, 102, 473, etc.)
and the electrolytic can type capacitors ( eg: 47uf/16v, 10uf/25v etc.)
A list with a cross reference to their component number on the circuit board would be useful too.
Many thanks in advance

Since this is a double sided board, if we could get enough people together would anyone be interested in an Express PCB type board buy in?

I've placed some calls and I'm waiting on some callbacks. I can *most likely* get 10 Panasonic MN3005's at $35 each. I know it's not a great price but the distributor has a minimum order price and it should reduce the risk of counterfeit IC's. I am told they are all tested and meet OEM specs. I'm waiting on a quote for a larger amount. Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone might be interested.

I'd be willing to try comparing MN3005, V3205, and el-cheapo PT2399 versions! It would be pretty slick if we could devise a digital workalike that got close to the same sound without the crazy old chips. I've had really good luck with PT2399 with old-style filters and whatnot used with them. I wired up one of those old MXR delay boards that uses the super rare Reticon chip with one of the PT2399 retrofit boards and it got really decent results... not quite totally analog, but it got the flavor at least.squrl wrote:maybe we could get a version going with the V3205 chips as well? hmmmmmmm
Oh, and when purchasing MN3005 from ebay, I recommend Panasonic ones that look old... not nice shiny new ones... that say Mitsubishi.
(Panasonic logo is "M" in brackets, like this: [M]...)

Okay guys -- here are the cap values. Go to http://idisk.mac.com/joegore-Public?view=web abd download the (big) pic "Aqua-Puss caps," which matches the components and the numbers. All values were easy to discern, though don't rule out me making some dumb copy/paste error. I couldn't read all the component numbers without desoldering (these are indicated by question marks), but I believe my descriptions below will help fill in the blanks.

count me in for whatever buyins you guys are doing. i've needed a delay for a while, might as well do this one!

Thanks again Joe - excellent
I should have it all finished by next weekend - workload permitting - start ordering those MN3005 chips folks

please note -- I fixed a few things, so anyone who snagged the post within seconds of it going up (that's you, Bajaman!), please grab the new one.

Hi Joe
one last request - a view of the tracks under the insulating stickie on the small section of the board, so I can complete the PCB
thanks
