what i think might work best is to load the pins onto a Stax plug, then insert it into the connector shell, then tighten the nuts. i'll suggest this to the machine shop

Here is what I think will work for pricing 1-2: $20/ea 3-4: $18/ea 5-9: $17/ea 10+: $16/ea *add $5 per normal bias jack (go ahead and combine pro/normal jacks in your total count) + 3% paypal & shipping I'm assuming that shipping weight will be below 1lb for all but the largest quantities, so expect about $6 USA and $25 international subject to change because I havent been given the final costs yet

not too late…please explain what you mean though when you say "a couple" or "a few" so this is easier later.

some of the pins arrived today. samples are being machined now.

$20-25 per jack, i think?

yes, the pins will be installed

dont know yet! no more than any previous offerings, probably a little less.

you can thread it but it would have to be larger than M3 the height of that is .250"

no. if the front panels are thin, then you would use a nut on the other side. another option (that would increase cost) would be to thread 2 of the holes (diagonally) and leave the other 2 unthreaded. or i could thread all the holes, but not with M3, it would have to be M4 or #6-32.

here is the proposed jack redesign. it is smaller (1x1") which is 60% the area of the last ones. the screw holes will fit #4 or M3 screws. washers/nuts can be up to 0.3" diameter before going off the corners. the diameter of the center is 0.700" so it will fit as a replacement for an original Stax jack. after measuring my Stax connectors, I think the original drawing had the pins spaced about 0.005" too far apart (if anyone can confirm, please let me know) so I have adjusted this.

yes, same Apple ID. i went to the iphone and added my email address as a Recipient, and changed the Caller ID to be that email address, but my iPhone/iPad messages still show up as separate people to others

i'm trying to get my iMessages to appear on both my iphone and ipad, but they stay separate. has anyone been successful in this?

Best Buy seems to have classes for teaching old people how to use the iPad

I'm having some of the teflon Stax jacks w/ the gold plated pins machined. I should have them in 4-6 weeks. I don't have the final price yet because I don't know what it will cost to have the pins assembled. But it shouldnt be more (probably will be less) than the jacks have previously been sold for and it will be excellent machining quality. Edit: August 3, 2012 All connectors from this group buy have been shipped out. If you're reading this late, I've listed more connectors on eBay.

put a load on it before you throw it away...

i'm in the process of having these jacks machined right now. i will definitely have some extras if anyone is interested. should i start a new thread?

where does everyone go for cheap but decent quality cables these days?

go yellow team!

i pay you

Facebook is reading this thread.. i just started taking advantage of a free facebook advertising credit. it costs about $1 to get a person to Like my page, and of the 900 million FB accounts, about 5,600 are appropriate for me to target.

obivously depends on the fees but if it's like a typical house closing and 1 point then you could expect pay off within 2 years

30-Year Fixed 3.625% 3.799% 15-Year Fixed 2.875% 3.182% shiiiit. im @ 4% for 30-year (oct 2010) but if that 15 year gets any lower, i think i'm in

i like the high-res screen for the possibilities of remote desktoping

could i expect less or more depreciation with the 64GB new iPad vs the 16GB -- if i sold whenever the next model is out

you hide it well
