Kwak-Clock Mod

[colonelkernel8]

Hello, I was thinking of applying this mod to my Rotel RCD-02. Does anyone have some more information, pics, walkthroughs that can get me going in the right direction? The more specific it is to my Rotel, the better.

The mod is done, scroll down for pics

you install it just like any other clock. there are plenty of directions available. since you made your own KWAK Clock, shouldn't this be baby stuff to you?

Alright, everything is in the workings for this upgrade. Ordered all the parts from mister Kwak himself in presumably Germany. Will post the build pics when I get started!!! This is reputed to be the best clock you can put in a CD player, we'll see.

How much the whole thing costs?

i'm interested in knowing too

70 euros (about $95) for the full kit.

30 for just the PCB

 

[colonelkernel8]

I can get people the schematic as well as the other information too. Just ask here or PM me. The clock is open to make by DIYers, Elso just doesn't want his work out in the open or being used commercially.

Why has he then uploaded the schematic...?

Now that is news to me.

My apologies, go ahead and get it there then, but unless you want to make your own layout and PCB, you need to order it from him. You could make a really messy protoboard version too, I think there is a tutorial somewhere for that.

Initial reaction: "Holy S***!" (yeah its that good, and better)
