  • Finished...   Back plates before I mounted them...

  • Here's a new twist on my T2 build.  I've added both the HE-90 jack as well as a custom built Teflon HE-60 jack with appropriate voltages/resistances.  This one is in black chrome That's the

  • I finally got the last plate machined.  I had to replace the spindle on my CNC and also made a mistake on the CAD so had to redo this plate, but it's looking great now.

The language barrier is killing me, but if someone wants to do a group buy on

the sockets, we can get the 9 pin ones for a bit less than $14 each, and i still

don't know how much the 8 pin sockets are.

I'm in. :) I have no idea how many I'll need but 20-30 sounds about right.

What sockets? I am in for whatever I will need for my amp and can pitch in to the pre-purchase effort if helpful.

More info on the teflon sockets when i get it. Maybe someone else can do the

group buy, otherwise i'll do it. At some point soon i may need a bigger house :D

So they say measure twice and cut once.

I kind of believe in measuring about 12 times and cutting once.

(especially with these prices on the circuit boards)

KG has also asked me to see if anyone would be interested in a group buy for Alps RK50?

What sort of standard deviation do you get?[/me-being-funny]

My sister is in textiles, but I don't think she'd get that.

how much?

how much?

probably around 800 but i would have to check the current pricing. they may have revised it since the dollar dropped

I'll "need" a bunch of 4 gang pots soon so I'm looking into TKD and P+G options to see just how much cheaper they would be. Handy for those of us that don't need just one RK50... :D

Last time i checked, balanced P&G were about $580, but the price has likely

gone up.

I can check with one contact that I have if it'd help. The same guy quoted ~$250 for 2 gang P&Gs. Be aware that I don't think P&G makes pots higher than 10k (15k on special order occasionally) so that may be a factor.

I do think that the P+G won't be cheap but if you could check Nate, then that would be great. The low impedance isn't a problem for me but for others it might be. As for TKD, a 4-gang 2500 series is roughly 180

Seems like there should be a decimal point there somewhere, I could imagine it being $126.00. What sockets are these Kevin (PM if you like)?

CMC I'd wager

Be a hell of a lot easier to get them from Parts Connexion, wouldn't it?

CONNEX Socket 8-pin, Octal (KT88, 6550, EL34, etc.)

CONNEX Socket 9-pin, (12AX7, 12AU7, 12AT7, 6DJ8, etc.)

Look like the same thing to me and while PCX's price is a bit higher I'll contact them about quantity discounts over the 25+ discount they list on their site. How many of each are required for each amp?

I dunno. I picked my lot up in person in China. I think I paid around $6 each for the octals with my mother-in-law doing the bargaining.
