Subject: Even smaller PCM Version 2

In case anybody using Tracy's EC is having troubles with panel space
this could help.

Also I was having trouble seeing the tiny numbers
on Tracy's PCM mode tiny thumb wheel switch so I used a larger version.

The pictures are largely self explanatory.

No space on my panel for the stock PCM and I could
not read the code switch anyway.

In the process of checking the PCM schematic  for my new much smaller
PCM I had to remove some of the parts on Tracy's PCM PC board.
One of the hardest parts to remove was the DB 15 connector.

I tried all the traditional tools like solder suckers with
no luck. I finally cut it apart with a Dremel tool
and pulled the pins one at a time.

I am still learning something every day :)

The pots and switches can go anywhere you have a little space
or that makes sense.

These screw down connectors are 10 times easier to wire than a DB15
and solder for that matter. They are very robust and the same connectors
are on the AV8 I have. I am thinking of doing an adapater for Tracy's
DB37 on the EC to these connectors in a 3 row version.
