    Ah very good to know, thanks,
    before you close everything up (when finiished i mean) , please post a photo of the inside with the PCB and rotaries and the sli-pro if you don't mind Mike.

    can't wait to see the finished result.
    I'll be using your thread as a guide. thanks for sharing.

    As I have been slowly waiting for things to come in I have started to strip it down and start to perform surgery. Here's a glimpse.

    I'm also replacing the buttons with some of a higher quality. Not my pic (Credit to Leo for the pic.) but these are the switches that I'll be using.

    I should have it done this week. I've been swamped with a couple other projects and web development on top of that.

    Just have to do the wiring and get my labels done for the rotaries. I'm screwed until the weekend so I'm hoping I can get the wiring done and back together over the weekend.

    Thanks Brian. Yes, they did work out. It's a tight fit for the SLI but after a little surgery it's in there.:ninja:

    So far I'm happy. I still have some work left but the main portion is done.

    That's great, I'm currently purchasing an SLI-PRO as well and this will be the way I'm going as well. Having a tutorial like yours is worth a lot. Cheers mate!
