Mini-Prophet / Prophet-One

Remember this Custom Sequential Circuits Pro One? Title link takes you to Stephen's latest creation in walnut. There are more shots after the hop.

Update via Stephen: "BTW, we're making nameplates now using the same technique Sequential did. Hopefully we'll be able to reproduce the wheel boxes soon as well. That is definitely something we'll want to include with the Prophet-One kit."

Details:
SCI Pro-One rev 1.2 in a Black Walnut case
T-8 mod wheel box
J-Wire keyboard
Switched 1/4" phone jacks

Minor, but Necessary modifications that were performed:
Keyboard tray needs to be shifted 1/2"
(Drilled two new holes in the front tray and two in the case for the back mounts)
Two new holes to anchor the wheel box
(Two more could be added to anchor box to the side of the aluminum case)
twisted 2 and 3 conductor 26 awg wired jacks (7)
(Replaced the (broken) plastic surface mounted Switchcraft jacks)
Visible ToDos
Center piece should be a little wider, probably by 1/2" and 1/16" thicker.
Increase length of the rear piece by 1/16" to eliminate gap.
Rotate wood block infront of wheel box by 90 degrees.
Hidden ToDos
Front wood groove should accomodate the three machined screw anchors.
Two notches in the control panel frame need to be slightly bigger.
Filler key needs a notch about 1/2" deep x 1/2" tall to accomodate PCB.
