I found the case whilst rummaging around in my loft. It seemed to be the perfect size and shape for a bit of synth equipment so the decision was made to build a WP-20.

I designed the front panel using Microsoft Visio and printed it out on a colour laser printer. The intention is to fix it to the case with double sided tape then spray it with a fixative.

One day, you will be a WP-20!

I used a program called LochMaster to design the stripboard layout. The printout is shown along with the start of the board. The wire links are all in place.
