The CHORDMACHINE
Added 2022-01-03 10:53:06 +0000 UTCStarting the year with an oddity. I’m taking a look at (and a listen to) the CHORDMACHINE from Sony - a strange hybrid device that defies conventional categorisation. Unless that category is ‘What the heck were they thinking?’
In a recent update I mentioned how I’d avoided featuring boombox/synth combo units due to being unable to play keyboards. There’s no such concern here as I doubt Jean-Michel Jarre could wring a tune out of this one.
While I’m here - I’ll wish everyone all the best for what remains of 2022.

Re-edited and re-uploaded to aid clarity.

Small tip: when resoldering broken solder joints like on that speaker jack, always add a little bit of either fresh flux core solder, or flux on its own. The pin and / or the old solder will have become somewhat dirty and oxidized, so the new connection might not be too great / strong without some flux to clean it all up.
