Maybe I’m a bit obsessive, but I want mine to be the same as a Finlay-built one, unless, for instance, someone finds parts that fit perfectly, and are somehow ‘better’. So, I’m most likely to get pots/knobs from Thonk, bananas from Reichelt, pushbuttons from Rapid. I’m pretty certain the Taiway swit...

re: USA parts ordering So far, the banana jacks, pushbuttons, pots/knobs appear to be the only parts we need to order from across the sea. (unless somebody else has found good USA sources). Significant savings on shipping and quantity pricing can be realized by ordering 3 or more sets from each vend...

I’ve never done a group buy, but I’ll wait a few days and see if there’s more interest. I’d prefer to keep it simple, 36xRED, 4xBLACK. Maybe another black for ground on boat. Similar to the 7375 panels, we in USA also have trouble finding 6mm D-shaft knobs, though the pots are on Mouser. Thonk is sh...

BANANA JACK USA GROUP BUY Any interest in this? I just ran some numbers for buying the jacks from Reichelt in Germany. Here are my estimates, including $10 for USPS shipping to final US destination. 1 set (40 jacks ) about $56 ($1.40 each) 4 sets (160 jacks) about $103 (.64 each) (+$10 USPS = $35.60...

I came home after a couple weeks absence to find this on my doorstep. SMD done by Finlay, I am looking forward to this bringing some life to my 73-75 panels!

Has anybody in USA found a no-compromise way around ordering the jacks from Europe or UK?

I recommonend it, if you are comfortable tacking a resistor. It’s easy

The Great British Bakeoff!

I just got notification, I’m order #8. I’m looking forward to this!

I’m looking at cgs502 for this, but probably not in the same box

You should take the time to figure out what you’re doing wrong with solder wick. It’s very useful.

Ordered. Looking forward to using this with my Homebuilt and Voice. Does anybody know a US source for these banana jacks? Mouser has the cinch/johnson/emerson jacks (sockets) galore. Thats where I get all mine at least. If you're looking for cables, Modular Addict has some cheap decent bananas, if ...

Ordered. Looking forward to using this with my Homebuilt and Voice.

Does anybody know a US source for these banana jacks?

What kind of signal do the clock up/down inputs expect? Can it be clocked with a POS or NEG slope?

I’d try a dab of hot glue.

I have trouble believing this is serious.

I’m just thinking out loud here, nobody should take this as anything but early morning musings. I agree, in some cases we are willing to pay more for a product than the parts cost would suggest. But in adjusting that multiple, a company is also able to affect the volume of sales. Generally speaking,...

If a pot is working, but reversed, first thing to try is switch the two outer wires.

I’m using 8FB3C1B . Short 3-spring with long decay. Works for me.

I’d love to build a Eurorack Benjolin. But this sounds like you have too much respect to ask Hordijk for permission...

There’s got to be more car people on here than just Doug and I. No Porsche for me but I do have a couple 2002’s

A couple of 2002’s... nice!

328i and Boxster here. And a 208p.

Sometimes I think about selling all of my Buchla and buying a used Porsche 911.

Wait... it’s either/or ?!?!

That’s great to hear, this might be a gadget for me.

Exactly.

Pin 6 is the REMOTE control pin, less than 1.2v (IIRC) on pin 6 disables output. So, that’s not it the problem.

Sounds like, maybe, your Traco is broken.

I'm using a Traco THN 15-2423WI instead of the THN 15-2423 which was out of stock when I ordered everything. It looks compatable when I compare the data sheet but I can't get the PSU to work properly (less than 1V on both +/- 12V and nothing on the +6V). I desoldered the Traco and connected it dire...
