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?
MLA Posted December 14, 2016 Report Posted December 14, 2016 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.

MLA Posted December 15, 2016 Report Posted December 15, 2016 Too late, already posted them If they don't show by end of next week, let me know. 1
UFN Posted December 17, 2016 Report Posted December 17, 2016 Package arrived just now Thanks again @MLA for running this GB! //UFN
sorenb Posted December 17, 2016 Report Posted December 17, 2016 Received in good shape - nicely packed. Thanks for all your efforts doing this, highly appreciated. /S
MLA Posted December 19, 2016 Report Posted December 19, 2016 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.
MLA Posted December 20, 2016 Report Posted December 20, 2016 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.
mwl168 Posted December 20, 2016 Author Report Posted December 20, 2016 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.
MLA Posted December 20, 2016 Report Posted December 20, 2016 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.
Pars Posted December 20, 2016 Report Posted December 20, 2016 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
Skooby Posted December 22, 2016 Report Posted December 22, 2016 Pots received, perfectly in time for the mini dynalo! Thank you, sir!
Pars Posted December 22, 2016 Report Posted December 22, 2016 I don't think the TKDs are the right pots for the mini dynalo? I thought that only took the Alpha pot?
Skooby Posted December 22, 2016 Report Posted December 22, 2016 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.
Pars Posted December 22, 2016 Report Posted December 22, 2016 The leads on the TKD 601s are quite long... might be able to do some creative lead bending, use of teflon tubing?
Skooby Posted December 22, 2016 Report Posted December 22, 2016 That will be another option. But bend once right? Multiple bends may snap the lead.
Pars Posted December 22, 2016 Report Posted December 22, 2016 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.
judo Posted January 2, 2017 Report Posted January 2, 2017 Pots & boards received. Thank both of you for the GB!
Pars Posted January 2, 2017 Report Posted January 2, 2017 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?
judo Posted January 3, 2017 Report Posted January 3, 2017 Only the shaft is longer tha threaded portion is the same. Some (me) wanted longer thread but this was not an option by TKD.
wokstarr26 Posted January 3, 2017 Report Posted January 3, 2017 Received pots and pcbs in good condition downunder. Thanks for the gb
