Atari Punk Console Kit
Price range: £16.50 through £48.00
This Atari Punk Console kit is based on the original Stepped Tone Generator by Forest M. Mimms III. Use it to re-create awesome lo-fi sounds resembling those from old style Atari games. Buy the kit on it’s own or bundle it with our 3D printed case. We have a limited amount of ready-soldered units so get yours quick if you can’t solder but still want to own one. We even provide the FREE 3D print files to make and personalise your own case! Aren’t we nice!!
Kit Assembly
This kit is rated as easy, takes around 20-45 mins to make and is suitable for all ages. The only equipment needed to complete this kit is a soldering iron and a pair of flush cutters. A really good lead free solder is included with the kit!
How It Works
Grab yourself a 9v pp3 battery (not included) and connect it up to the battery snap. Turn the APC on using the on/off power switch, and adjust the two knobs to control the pitch and depth of the quirky raspy tones produced.
Build Support
We are unable to provide individual customer support with kit building so please see the detailed assembly guide here to gauge difficulty before purchasing. Once started, kits cannot be refunded. We also have a handy soldering tutorial here!
Connect to our Baby8 sequencer
A set of connectors is included with your kit to bring the Baby8 and APC together for all sorts of fun which you can see in the video demo further down the page. The set consists of two strips of pin headers and 5 multi-coloured jumper cables for connecting power sharing, 2x CVs, Gate and Ground.

In the case of returns due to a change of mind you may return your kit(s) unopened in original condition within 14 days of delivery for a refund.

You, the buyer, are responsible for paying to return the item. Please enclose the Returns Form with your parcel to enable us to process your return quickly and efficiently. You will remain responsible for the items until they reach us. If an item does not reach us we will not be able to offer you a refund and you will need to claim the loss from the delivery company.

I’m a beginner with electronics and this kit is the first one I’ve ever built. Very easy to put together and very fun to play. I plugged the CV out of my Bastl Kastle for some extra fun!

Fun little noisemaker, and a great start for anyone getting into making their own electronic sounds. Works brilliantly with the Baby8 sequencer, too!
