Wiring the Keyboard Enclosure

At this point, I decided to call it a day and said to myself, my next project isn’t going to involve so much point to point wiring. Counting both chassis, the peripherals and cabling, I must have soldered about 500 point to point wires during the course of the SCELBI project.

By the way, I think the best process for constructing one of these enclosures is as follows.

  • cut and drill the holes
  • add the rub on lettering
  • clear coat the lettering with lacquer
  • add the connectors
  • wire it

    • There are 12 wires left to connect on this chassis.

    For the oscilloscope interface checkout, I think I’m just going to build it up in the chassis, rather than test it and then make the chassis.

    1. Yeah – that’s probably a big part of why they lost money on each system and switched over to writing manuals!

    2. Compare with those 4-1 DB25 switch boxes that used to sell cheaply – 250 solder points on 125 wires between the five 25-pin connector and the multi pole rotare switch (which in atleast some switches has a few poles extra).
