OK, so I’ve had ten finished drum machine sitting in boxes for well over a year, but I’ve been exceptionally busy, so I’ve not had time to put them up for sale I will do soon I promise, plus I’ll email all the people that requested one. Here’s a bit of an update of what happened between that time;

Breadboarding
Making a PCB in Kicad

It works!
Designing the front panel
A trip to the Baumarkt to find wood
Carefully cutting out the case

I settled on a thinner wood in the end

PCBs going into ‘mass production’. 10 of them.
Chips waiting to be burned
Laser cutting the front panels

I’ll take some photos of the finished machines as soon as I get a chance. Cheers & thanks for your patience!
