Mungo MIDI Retrofit for Roland Juno 6 - Part 1

I've just fitted a Mungo MIDI retrofit to a Roland Juno 6, and thought I'd post some extra info beyond what is in the PDF from Mungo to help others who might find it tricky to fit. A few of the details in the instructions are vague, especially maybe to those with less DIY experience. I'll just list a few notes and pictures below... Firstly, the board is powered from +5v and Ground, not +5v and -5v... The picture below shows where you can attach a power cable from the Juno 6 main board to the Mungo boards:
Oh, whoops, I mean here:


Bit blurry, but you can see where it goes, the header is actually marked 'G' and '+5v'.

bloo knobs!

To Be Destroyed

Recent live performance at the old FA headquarters on Soho Square... 3 hours of horrible noise, funny films and 1664... There were no patch cables left at the end, not sure if that means it was a success or not? Was surprised to meet a chap who was super-impressed with the setup - "wow, what's that!"..."what does it do?"..."you mean that makes sound!" etc - only to find he had an ARP 2600 and an EMS VCS3... Maybe he was taking the piss!

281 Interboard Power

Again, A board is top board, B is bottom....

281 PEAK circuit board wiring diagram

Interboard wiring part 1 for Topps 281 clone. Click on pic for large one. This is the PEAK circuit, I built it on the A board, so I omitted the bits shown in red on board B (the bottom board) I also put all inputs to the PEAK circuit through pots, but you can ignore this if you like... All diodes are 1N4148... Where it says "All these PEAK inputs meet here..." it refers to the dot to the left of the text where the blue lines meet...

You can ignore the pots if you wish, but not the diodes...
