Is it possible to build the 170 pocket operator modular?

can you cut the bus board? it has probably way too many sockets…
You could maybe cut 6 of them off by cutting the board across after the 6th
header I do kits all the time and most bus boards I build as kits can be cut without
hurting the rest of the bus. I don’t know if TE is like that but maybe?

I know on the 4oo I have too many headers and it could be possible?

yeah, i was considering cutting the bus board- and since the “official” solution is to anyway cover up the extra power sockets, might as well cut them off and have the speaker be straight inside the case.

I desoldered the seven sockets that collided with the speaker. Works fine that way.

sounds like the best solution considering the design.

I cutted out the last 9 sockets (board included) with a simple scissors. Works fine.
