A side project

Two working SSM 2050 chips from an old DIY module become a new Aries-format build based on the AR-344 design — with nine spare boards looking for homes.

I had two working SSM 2050s from an old DIY module that never worked very well, so I built a new Aries-format module based on the AR-344 design.

It was the same price to get 10 boards made, so I have 9 remaining ones. If anyone has a source of SSM 2050s and wants one or more of these boards, let me know. I can also provide the faceplate design (which is very close to the original Aries faceplate design, but I added an inverted out), and the little adapter PCBs for the alpha dual-concentric pots. It sure is hard to source good dual-concentric pots these days…
