My new old toy.

My Hoover machine has now turned into a lunch box!







The keyboard was starting to play up, and rather than fix it, I decided to rip the fucker to bits instead!

It was/is a Juno by the way.

You wierdo!

So, what are you going to do with your new lunch box?

Well as it's working perfectly (which I'm a little surpirsed about after all my tinkering) I'll be using it to make music.

what did you modify other then the shell?

Nothing at all. I have no idea where to start for hardcore modding really.

Like I said, the keyboard was starting to really stuff up and then after pulling it appart it was obvious I couldn't fix it, so rather than have it take up space I just moved the insides into a handy, easy to carry....Lunch box.

Ahhh....now we're getting to the bottom of this!

So you really are a wierdo....

Well I try to be Jase.

You have to admit though, if this was on the market it would be soooo popular! All these pretty new synths, can keep their flashy lights and pretty paint jobs - Give me stainless steel bolts and a clear lunch box any day!

[jasedee]

Just fuckin around mate....it is very cool!

So is it your Alpha-Juno? And everything is functional (except keys of course) Do you trigger via MIDI controller?

[Hollowcell]

Yeah I know Jase. It IS cool!

Yep it's the AlphaJuno2 and it's completely functional. Works as a midi module now, but I did leave the cables that usually go the original keyboard attached to the main board, so if I want I can plug the module into the origial keyboard it's really simple.

I know it looks a bit messy from the pics, but it is actually neater than it was in the original housing! Definitely is much cleaner now too. Don't realize how filthy synths can get on the inside until you open them up.
