I just looked at my OG/MIJ 80s board, which is not too far off from yours... It's powered by an original 1984 200mA PSA120 and works great! 128.5mA draw.

Very nice!

Yes, that is a sweet board.

Worth a literally unbelievable amount of money these days.

It's nuts. BOSS was the bargain of the century until the last several years. I mean, they sell themselves, but it didn't help that guys like JHS and Wampler profess their love for them. haha.
All of mine were had when they were $two digit$ bargains of the early 21st Century. That board posted above probably cost me less than $300 total.

Thanks for the responses, guys. :)

I assume that I need to remove the batteries from the pedals if I want to leave them all hooked up in the case, correct?
If I don't, I imagine the batteries will be drained due to the patch cables in the input jacks?

In addition to the PH-1R, I just bought a cheap local MIJ 1984 TU-12H tuner to fit into the top space in the board.
So, the whole board ranges from 1978 to 1984. :geek:

Of course, the BCB-60 didn't exist back then, but I wanted a foam padded board, instead of the earlier plastic pedal holder version.

The plastic in the BCB-6 always marks the pedals.

Yes indeed.
If you've got the 9V daisy chain cable connected, doesn't it disconnect the batteries?
