(*) Anyone have a clue what the spade connector and cable specs are that Doepfer use, cant find a reference to it anywhere?
Can't say I know. I think the Doepfer e-mail list is still active. I still see messages from time to time.
Yeah, basically desoldering and replacing, didnt even think about just forcing a shroud on.whyterabbyt wrote: ↑Mon Feb 15, 2021 3:34 pm Also, anyone tried retrofitting proper keyed box headers onto a pre-v6 Doepfer busboard?
Like desoldering the existing headers and replacing them? Or just smooshing a shroud onto the existing header? Both approaches seem fraught. Might be easier to make your own bus boards out of veroboard. I would do basically anything to avoid desoldering that many headers.
Though now Im wondering if I could 3D-print a shallow sorta-shroud that would be easier to fit, a single flat shape for each 'half' of the 2 sets of 11 sockets on a Doepfer busboard. Doesnt need to be proper shrouds, its more about the keying than the box, if you see what I mean.
Maybe laser cutting would be more accurate, maybe in 3-4mm acrylic.
