Roland TR808 Recovered from oblivion restorated from oxide MIDI-fixation and deeper modification. Now it can be sequenced by any midi sequencer/synth. All parts has been hardly cleaned to remove all that dust and oxide who were inside. The TR808 has almost over 25 years old so needed a lot of work inside it.
A pair of new side panels has been done by myself on wood to close the unit, getting away the old plastic side panels that were taking so much space. Now the Roland TR808 is finished with an standard rack width to rack it if needed. A new painting has been aplied on the frontpanel surface, side panels and front side, to prevent the corrosion. I have replaced too the old round phillips screws to a flat allen galvanized screws, so they will never be re-oxidize again. The old power plug has been changed too to a new smallest one. Hope you like the work !!
I love my 808.

I inserted the non-locking end of a zip tie through one hole, wrapped it underneath the tweeter, and brought it back up through the facing hole on the other size of the tweeter. Then, I used another zip tie to act as a lock to that tie. I repeated the process for the other two holes.
Refer to picture 14 in this set for a view of what the ties look like from underneath the tweeter.
Stone man disassembled and legs laid down. Bottoms were squared. A wooden jig was fashioned to drill holes in legs and pedestal to assure drill spacing and squareness.
Diana+ camera modified to take 35mm infrared film. I was going to tape my IR filter on the lens of a Diana clone, but quickly realized that if I did that, I'd lose the ability to account for my distance to the subject. I then considered that if I used the Diana+ with the 38mm super-wide lens, I could tape (however sloppily) the filter in place and still be able to set the distance between myself and my subject. The camera was modified (with electric tape and foam curlers) to hold 35mm film.
The back of the engines also received and update. I re-used the parts that made up the original front of the engines.

This boy face needs to become a girl.
I am sanding off parts of the heavy eyebrows, and the nose is already a bit tinier. I am not done yet, I need to get it balanced more. Also the eyes are opened, but need to be a bit more opened first.
Still a lot to work on

My kids and I had an Old-fashioned soda pop tasting to go along with our Pizza. I thought the bottles would make a cool pic ,all lined, up so my oldest son(17 yrs) and I took some pics.He laughed at me at first saying I was taking pics of weird things but I like how it came out after some adjustments with Picnik.
left side is the "before" version and the right side is after reshaping. Proof that SR seatposts don't have to be ugly!
There's the AC trans. and 80 rectifier on the left. I think a 6V6 goes in the socket on the left. I found one loose rattling around inside the case. I have no idea about the other socket :(

The mote for controlling a remote thermostat turned out a bit tighter than I was hoping. Going to install it tomorrow and see if it actually works.
The first step to disassembling the titan is to get that stupid orange retaining ring off of the back. It's glued on at a couple points, but that's easily solved with a small flat-head screwdriver. As you can see here, it comes off easily.
To remove the ring from the Titan totally, it needs to be cut, I just snipped one side of it and pulled it off over the pump housing. If you're just doing this for the air restrictor removal and the overpressure valve plugging, you can leave the ring in place to be slid back on later.
August 1, 2014: Bruce Lakovick shows off freshly modified sprocket and disk brake. He's bored 'em out to accomodate a larger hub so that he can turn a mini scooter into a tall one with lower gearing. The brake disk was heat treated so we bored that one out in the lathe using the external jaws to hold it. Sprocket was too big for the lathe and its 5-spoke geometry meant it had to be bored out using the mill and a rotary table
