Ambitious Veroboard!
This is my Maplin Spectrum analogue synthesiser from the early 1980s.
Rather than buy the expensive PCBs, I decided to build numerous precision analogue circuits on Veroboard, connected together by miles of wiring looms. An ambitious project. I simply coudn't afford the PCBs after buying the expensive analogue ICs on my student grant.
The thing is, it worked and is still working today, and is none the worse for being built on Veroboard. I built the precision PSU on PCB more for practice at building PCBs than any other reason. Pictures show the innards and the finished synth.
