Micro POG Rehouse

Hexjibber · Post by **Hexjibber** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 5:19 am

Hi,

Has anyone ever re-housed a Micro POG? I'm thinking about sticking mine in a new 1590BB so I can custom etch it but would prefer to keep the old box in case I decide to sell it in future. Is there anything I should be looking out for as it seems a pretty straightforward process looking at the internals, everything is mounted to the PCB so as long as I get the drilling right it should be pretty simple?

Cheers,
Graham

Micro Pog would be easy as fuck dude. Just pull those guts out gently and rehouse them. Simple process. As long as you know how to etch, you're fine.

Cool, thought it would be, just wasn't sure how to cut the square hole for the DC jack in a new box, was the only part that seemed a bit tricky!

All good on the etching front, just been checking out some of yours on your Facebook link, great work man! Check out a few of mine if you get a mo;

Awesome stuff dude!!!

Yea...the square jack is kind of a blank to me. Hmmm...I have no clue how you'd do that. I guess you could always try and get that sticker off the existing enclosure though.

To do the square hole, you can draw the square, drill a smaller hole, then file it to shape. If you wanted.

It looks like there's room to back the circuit board up. If you do that, you can place it so that the square jack is sitting right against the enclosure, and drill hole to stick the plug through. That's how MXR pedals are (or were, I dunno if they still do it).

I was wondering if I could just do that, seems like an option, cheers for the tips!
