Hi, I've decided to build a retro rig together to play Dos games and X68000 that use the midi. ... I have been offered an SC155, any good? ...

Bumping an old thread but I really like the idea of putting wavetable dbs in those Miditemp DoX-BoX cases. This way one can easily switch between different dbs. Does anyone know, where I can get these DoX-BoX cases? It seems they are not sold anymore and I can't even find one offer anywhere. …

My love for old MIDI hardware brought me here. I started out on quest studios forum and somehow and ended up here 12 years ago. 😀

The Kawai Gmega uses a generic Hitachi HD4478 based 16x2 display afaik. Any of those from AliExpress will probably do. Maybe you'd have to fiddle a little to align it (don't know if the screw holes match) but it should be possible. Did the same twice with both my Roland RA-50's 😀
