Who makes this folding zigzag stand?
i only have a laser-cut logo on my gig machines, to ease identification in case it’s snatched, or if just someone else at the venue has the same unit.

I couldn’t tell you to be honest mate it looks great though. Occasionally someone messages me with a post from this thread asking for a source but it seems a couple of them have been basically wiped from the internet

I wanted to do black but didn’t have the right type of dye, so I went with red. I didn’t expect it to come out so deep 
I had to open up my AK to adjust the screen contrast, I could barely read it before. Now it is nice to view at lots of angles. I decided to dye some components at the same time.

A few minor customizations, swapping out led screens and a phaser I made about 10 years ago from a schematic for a Pearl PH-03.

I got the green screen from a seller on AliExpress but I don’t have the part number. The original screen is this one WEO012864J - Winstar Display… I showed this link to the seller and asked if he had an equivalent in green. Removing the old screen is a bit tricky, you have to desolder the screen from the header which is 20 pins so it depends how confident/ competent you are in desoldering or if you have access to a delsodering station. I was quite nervous about tackling the job myself but I couldn’t find a tech locally who was willing or equipped to do it. I had to cut 2 of the plastic retainer clips at the pins end of the screen with a stanley knife, the lower two can be unclipped. I had to use the side of the soldering iron to heat up all the pins at once and wrestle the screen upwards. I found that once it started to come unstuck it came off fairly quickly but it’s not a job to be taken lightly. My DT’s screen got smashed when a Nord rack fell on it The unspeakable horror . Shipping it off to Sweden would have cost over £100 in postage plus maybe another £50 for the screen and repair.
