[Silas]

Just wondering if you guys have seen this badass..

I've had some e-mail corespondance with the maker quite some time ago about building one, but he would not let the schematic out. So I kind of gave up on buiding one.. Anyways, I'm thinking about trying to build one again, let's see how that goes.. If anyone has any tips, I would be thankfull for any help..

I hate people like that.  I really do.  I mean, I don't let *all* my secrets out - I've got to have *something* that's uniquely mine - but I do tell people enough to let them learn for themselves...

yeah exactly, i'm not about to give someone a simple diy guide on how to do every mod on something i've spent days working on but i'm perfectly happy to point someone in the right direction for anything and maybe they will come up with something i haven't thought of.

I had a look there are some pictures of the thing opened and there's a big ball of wires inside talk about electro spaghetti! maybe there is no schematic.... Analogue video kicks ass it has a "liquidity" and "warmth" and "roughness" that the computer generated stuff doesn't have. Kinda like audio huh....

By the way this guy (another Dutchy like me) is a master video bender, and he's got schematics of almost everything!

This great genius Karl klomp is indeed a master but won't spread any tech knowledge.
Similar kinda guy, he does not share tips at all, just suggest to buy his devices...
