Some more pics from the mysterious Japanese ARP2500 DIY cabinet.

Andrew of  NLCs is working on some of the modules.
They will eventually be reunited. For the moment I thought it would be good to document the case in its current state.
Before this system arrived we had no idea what to expect.
Five of the DIY modules are just a panel with no PCB behind.

So far Andrew has identified (from right to left):
1.  Reverb (extreme right) - the one with the big black dial.
2. Matrix mixer ??
3. DIY module - dunno - so far a mystery (3rd from the right)
4. Fixed Bandpass Filter (4th from the right)
5.  Clock (5th from the right) - this one uses numitrons.
6. Empty module A - just a faceplate with 20 pots & 8 sockets
7. Empty Module B - faceplate with 22 pots & 10 sockets
8. Empty Module C - Current meter
9. Empty Module D -  faceplate with 26 pots & a simple meter.
10.  ??
11. Empty Double Module - 39 pots, 25 switches, 3 lamps.


6.  Empty module A
     Twenty pots & Eight 3.5mm sockets

     Wonder what it was intended to be?


7. Empty Module B - faceplate with 22 pots & 10 sockets.



8. Empty Module C - Current meter




9. Empty Module D -  faceplate with 26 pots & a simple meter.





10. Empty Double Module - 39 pots, 25 switches, 3 lamps. 
      This is a monster of a module.
      I wonder  what it was intended to be.
      The pots seem fine, though most of the switches are Kaput.



If you the viewers have any suggestions as to what to turn these empty modules into please let me know.
This is going to be a long term labor of love.
