Title: sound modules physical size
Post by: jrl2442 on May 09, 2016, 06:24:13 PM
are the sound modules for the shay, climax and heisler the same physical size and have the same plugs for the PCB?   and if so, assuming i can live with inaccurate sound, can i mix and match?   asking because i can get a deal on a shay module that i want to put into a climax.   

thanks

It depends on the sound card you want to use. The Shay and the Climax have 8 pin commenters inside the fuel bunker and sound close to the same, its all about fitting the unit in the bunker.  The Heisler drop in board is 21 pin and would be a difficult install.
