Default CT6B-Micro size the main board

I know probably no one hardly anyone will ever need this. But for those who try and attempt a stick to pistol conversion i have been able to micro size the main board in the ct6b so it'll fit in just about anything, right now i'm putting one in a DX3E.

Ok So cut the Red lines (forget the far left and far right ones, thats where i used to cut), be careful when cutting, if you don't know how to cut a circuit board ask me



Jumper wires need to go here, these jumper the ground tracks together



More jumper wires need to go here as well, these jumper the hot tracks



This is where capacitors, resistors, led's etc need to be mounted. Be sure they have proper orientation




and here is some extra notes i wrote down





I made all these for my future reference, so i'm not digging through diagrams, pms, emails, pictures, etc. I have a ton of time tracing tracks, following wire diagrams, testing, etc...so if you go to do this don't be afraid to ask questions as i have left out alot of stuff for the actual conversion, this is just where the board needs to be cut and where the jumpers go.

Here is the album for the above pics if you need to zoom in or what not

If you need it smaller lmk, i can get it about half of the size above, but will require alot more jumpers, and alot more components that need to be rerouted.

Dude.....either you have no life, or love a challange (marriage & kids is about enough for me).
I say get a bigger shoehorn (to stuff the boards where they were not designed to go) or "spit on them" so they go easier.

All kidding aside.....it appears you do good work, thanks for the efforts to those that use it.
I only used the WantAmix you graciously took over from WantAsummit.

Hi losikid:

Could you please explain me how do you cut circuit boards?

A steady hand and a dremel

Wouldn't be a bad idea to wear a respirator either
