MLA is waiting for the boards that I ship him about 10 days ago. There was delay on my end on figuring out how many boards to ship to MLA because I was not able to ascertain the country of residence of all the GB participants. but I didn't order boards? Report
December 14, 20169 yr comment_749127 My bad! I was under the impression everybody ordered boards and never double checked once I got the pots. I see now that of the non-US pot buyers, neither you nor UFN ordered boards. I'll ship to you guys tomorrow. Report

December 15, 20169 yr comment_749231 Too late, already posted them If they don't show by end of next week, let me know. Report
December 17, 20169 yr comment_749451 Package arrived just now Thanks again @MLA for running this GB! //UFN Report
December 17, 20169 yr comment_749456 Received in good shape - nicely packed. Thanks for all your efforts doing this, highly appreciated. /S Report
December 19, 20169 yr comment_749651 Pot boards from US arrived today in good shape, so I'll start shipping the non-US destined pots and boards tomorrow. For some I may not have the shipping address; in that case, you will get a PM. Report
December 20, 20169 yr comment_749685 Everything non-US destined has now been shipped, except for one set of boards which are on hold due to the recipient being out on travels. Report
December 20, 20169 yr Author comment_749696 All except 3 US/CA destined packages have been shipped yesterday. Of the 3 remaining packages, 2 has not responded to my inquiries and 1 has asked for package to be held and shipped later. Report
December 20, 20169 yr comment_749699 Well, with that I guess this GB can be considered complete. Happy building everyone! Should there be any problem with the shipments, let us know, and we'll try to sort that out as appropriate. Report
December 20, 20169 yr comment_749703 Haven't tested the pot out yet, but wanted to thank both of you for your efforts in running a great GB!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Report
December 22, 20169 yr comment_749847 Pots received, perfectly in time for the mini dynalo! Thank you, sir! Report
December 22, 20169 yr comment_749857 I don't think the TKDs are the right pots for the mini dynalo? I thought that only took the Alpha pot? Report
December 22, 20169 yr comment_749865 Bummer, you're correct. The TKD footprint's too small for the mini dynalo board. Since there will be no GB for the chassis, may be I'll do a generic eBay chassis and go off-board on the back (IEC, XLR, RCA) and front (TRS/4-xlr, vol, power, se/xlr sel.). Not pretty but will work. Report
December 22, 20169 yr comment_749866 The leads on the TKD 601s are quite long... might be able to do some creative lead bending, use of teflon tubing? Report
December 22, 20169 yr comment_749867 That will be another option. But bend once right? Multiple bends may snap the lead. Report
December 22, 20169 yr comment_749868 You can probably bend more than once, but take care. Note that I haven't used one of these pots before, so I can't be certain. I would nonetheless plan out how you wanted to do it carefully first. You would probably need to put the pot as far forward as possible and mimic the position of the Alpha pot, so the nut and nose fit thru the front panel in the same position as an Alpha. Looking at a PCB and the one 601 pot I have, it looks doable. Pay attention to the Alpha pinout regarding the loudness tap row, and maybe coat that row's solder pads with something non-conductive to ensure no short to it. Report
January 2, 20179 yr comment_750910 Just curious as I ordered a std. 4CP-601. I had trouble getting it mounted on the temporary piece of plexiglass I am using until I case the amp (ssdynalo) up. I see from the datasheet that the threaded portion is 6mm. What was ordered for the extended version of these? Longer threaded nose portion? Longer shaft? Both? Or was extended only available for the CP2511s? Report
January 3, 20179 yr comment_750941 Only the shaft is longer tha threaded portion is the same. Some (me) wanted longer thread but this was not an option by TKD. Report
January 3, 20179 yr comment_750963 Received pots and pcbs in good condition downunder. Thanks for the gb Report
January 3, 20179 yr comment_750991 received them too. Thank You. My goodness, they are small! Edited January 3, 20179 yr by eggil Report
