Here is the recap with some photos!</p> <p>Pros: Looks way better!</p> <p>Cons: Will never get that 5 hours of my life back, shattered a knob</p> <p>Worth it I think!</p> <p>Steps:</p> <ol> <li>Reserve a 5-hour block of time. Does not need to be all at once.</li> <li>Gather a blow-dryer, flat-head jeweler's screwdriver, razor, and ample patience.</li> <li>Remove the top wooden frame piece, and all of the knobs.</li> <li>Use the razor to cut around all potentiometers.</li> <li>Have at it! Heat is key.</li> </ol> <p>Note: Heat can damage electronics. Be careful out there folks!</p> <p>​</p> <p><a href="https://preview.redd.it/6e0l9dujj35a1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=779668ec1832a2130d7dadefc4d9da173682b380">https://preview.redd.it/6e0l9dujj35a1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=779668ec1832a2130d7dadefc4d9da173682b380</a></p> <p><a href="https://preview.redd.it/x9h5xcujj35a1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b76bdf04cd1d890b8f2b9011acce97372a5ad27a">https://preview.redd.it/x9h5xcujj35a1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b76bdf04cd1d890b8f2b9011acce97372a5ad27a</a></p> <p><a href="https://preview.redd.it/8uuxxjujj35a1.jpg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc7855b3cfab2e6dc887337bf2477749dbdf0952">https://preview.redd.it/8uuxxjujj35a1.jpg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc7855b3cfab2e6dc887337bf2477749dbdf0952</a></p> <p><a href="https://preview.redd.it/ylovgqujj35a1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d7392e10946b3039276bc46997048ccdae06f55">https://preview.redd.it/ylovgqujj35a1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d7392e10946b3039276bc46997048ccdae06f55</a></p> <p><a href="https://preview.redd.it/uyti4xujj35a1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=262b5868f95b147b04b821aa5dc78657f4de8b55">https://preview.redd.it/uyti4xujj35a1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=262b5868f95b147b04b821aa5dc78657f4de8b55</a></p> <p><a href="https://preview.redd.it/mn8hr3vjj35a1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3a83d561e7c6f6259233d96785a87616930678f">https://preview.redd.it/mn8hr3vjj35a1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3a83d561e7c6f6259233d96785a87616930678f</a></p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/dber08"> /u/dber08 </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/zhvqvc/update_minimoog_faceplate_bubble_resolution/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/synthesizers/comments/zhvqvc/update_minimoog_faceplate_bubble_resolution/">[comments]</a></span> </td></tr></table>
