since the previous soldering station broke just afrer I finished soldering my LXR diy drum machine from Sonic Potions, a new soldering station had to be bought.
I was thorn between the Weller WHS 40D and some other stations and finally decided to buy the Ersa RDS 80.
Most reviewers agreed that the cable to the iron is too stiff. I can replace the cable ir buy anithwr iron if thats the case.
I will see on monday when the the station gets here...

This wednesday I recieved the brackets for the volume and the tempo knob.
They came from Croatia. A guy called xxx on the re-303.com forum sold them to me.
Today 16 transistors arraived from reichelt.de.
16 xxx and 10 xxx. Since I'm planning to build two RE-303's, I doubled up, there is only need for 8 xxx and 5 xxx if you building one RE-303.

The begining
So... With the escalating prices for a Roland TB-303 it seems that my "White whale" is never going to happen.
And by white whale I mean of course a object that is highly sought after, but is sort of out of reach.
I could save up for one, but prices around $2500.... for a monophonic bass synthesizer....? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the acid!
I bought a Analogic Cyclonic TT-303 a couple of years ago. It certanly looks the part and it does sound good. I'm gonna put my chin out and say it sounds better than the Avidlabs Bassline that I tried...
Enter Dinsync.info or Re-303.com. Stumbled upon his website and it turns out that the guy behind the site, Paul Barker, an englishman living in Sweden, has reverse engineered an TB-303 and sells PCB's and instructoins to how you can build your own RE-303, which is by all means an TB-303, only that Roland hasn't build it.
The german guy behind Sonic Poitions that brougth the LXR, an seven voice FM based DIY drum machine, has made an new CPU for the RE-303.
I have bought components for the RE-303 that are now obsolete from a guy in Australia.
I got brackets for the volume an tempo knobs from a guy in
The case, knobs and buttons comes from
It's a joint effort from all over the world to give acid to the masses. All meeting at the friendly forum over at re-303.com!
