The Buchla 208 Card Slot explained

Buchla engineer-designer Joel Davel sheds some light on the 208's card slot and how it figures into the general operation of the 208 or 208C. This informal but fairly comprehensive video explains how the card slot works and how it reveals the how the 208 control works in general.

Soooo informative, clear and inspiring! Love the choices you made and also that cool shorting bar hack at the end. Looking forward to episode 2 and resistor magic!

This stuff is so interesting and shows how thoughtful the program cards/knobs/etc. are. Thanks for making this!

Those program Cards were really ahead of its time. Great Video Joel!

Great demonstration, and super useful for programming cards. All those details are useful when planning sets! Thank you

I really love this approach to showing off the Easel or other modules for that matter. I'm hoping to have an Easel or a small 200 cabinet based around the 208 after I've resolved my 200e.
Curious if the circuit board on the monitor was a sneak peak tease?
Thanks for all the work, Joel.
