Hi John,

Very cool as always! Did you make up that snazzy box too? Looks like you may have used these buttons

Great use of OLEDs there, I think that user feedback, especially on a device with so many “modes” like yours, is a huge boost to the learning curve.

Thanks for your nice comment. No I didn’t make the box, I got lazy and bought one from a Hardware Store. It’s made from bamboo. Yes I used PB86 buttons and these PCB Breakouts.
I need screens and LEDS. If I am forgetting what’s going on then feedback is essential.

I also used two multiplexers as the audio, buttons, LEDs etc. used a lot of connections.

That’s cool.
Yesterday arvo, I noticed the church next door to me had put out 2 working organs.
Out came a battery and inverter…

I grabbed the 1981 ELKA 20 (Made in Italy), as it looks and works great!

The other organ was an Ace Tone AU-302C (or AU-3020). Made in Japan, but not as nice looking and has a deteriorated woofer.

Probably over 100kg each :open_mouth:
