Well I confirmed my two PIC16F877 sourced from utsource last year can be erased and programmed with my GQ4x4 programmer, which was also first time I’ve used that too. My phono connectors look like they are the right type. DIP switches are piano type, but should fit ok. Not sure about 16MHz crystal, I might have one, but I do have a few 48MHz third overtone that seem to prefer 16 MHz without fine tuning the notch filter.

Still need to solder a connector to the MK14, probably same as Slothie, female header on the MK14 and male on the Ortonview.
