kevin gilmore Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I'll be closely watching for that. I do have examples of the same black over the last 6 months and i can't tell the difference. At least its a bottom panel which would never be visible anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Sawyers Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 .1% on the power supply is more than sufficient, but hey go for the better part. In other news the anodizer found the 4 missing panels. That he never anodized... Well that is truly great news! And so very like the chaos at every anodiser I've known.

kevin gilmore Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 I did the numbers, and if any of you really want the titanium knobs, i can do some. They will be $200 each. It would be about 6 to 8 weeks before i have the time to do them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nattonrice Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 This is a bit of a long shot but does anyone have 4 extra of the 5pF/1kV C0G ceramic caps that they could send down to AU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin gilmore Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Just got the call that the anodizing is done. I could force the issue and get it today but i think its best to wait for the guy to deliver monday morning. So i will be shipping the stuff on monday and tuesday. Unless there is a hurricane, or 24 inches of snow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had already flicked Inu a pm and he is sorting me on them. Dear god that's a lot of caps for one man...

kevin gilmore Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 4 chassis packed up and will ship today. tracking numbers in a few hours. The knobs are less than acceptable, and i will be replacing them at my cost. Will be drilling and tapping the small end to put a screw in it for the anodizing. Then no dings on the face.

kevin gilmore Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 4 chassis shipped. Only 45 minutes for the wonderful united states postal service to do 4 packages. (all of which were international) you would think that being able to type would be a requisite for the job... I'm going to make a few more tops and bottoms (have everything else) and then the next batch goes off for polishing and finishing. Hopefully the anodizer can actually count this time. Birgir should have his knobs soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin gilmore Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 So i got cussed out by this guy who needed at least 10 more feet from my open door to pass me with his 10 year old van, throwing me the finger et all. In the designated loading/unloading area. I did take my persuader out of the trunk, but decided not to go after him. At 40 lbs per package, the car definitely did not handle right (2 in the trunk, 2 in the right passenger seat) or at least not what i was used to.

No-one needs that sort of shit. I've chased SOB's that gave me the finger from the safety of their car before now - but we don't have easy access to guns in the UK, so the risk is not high. One guy ended up so worried after I chased him for 5 miles he drove into his open garage and closed the door before I got out my car to confront him. Bet he was reluctant to poke a gratuitous finger after that. The bastard. Feisty, me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digger945 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 If anyone that missed out on this would be interested in taking over mine then gimme a pm. I have yet to take delivery/pay for the chassis. Boards have nothing soldered yet. I have a handful of resistors and all of the hard-to-get silicon parts with teflon tube sockets and pins for KG's teflon stax sockets. Also have 3 different quads of EL34s.

kevin gilmore Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 The problem with internet postage (i have a suitable printer) especially with stuff going outside the country which all 4 of these did, is all the customs forms, and the weight. I know my scale is accurate, as it matches the one at work, and the package really is 39.5 lbs. But i got lucky and got the really messed up scale at usps which weighed the packages at 33 and 35 lbs (they are absolutely identical in contents) and therefore saved a few bucks. So now in total (not counting gas) but counting everything else including bubbles and the packaging for the boards, i'm down to a loss of a little less than $8. Fedex seems to be in the other direction. Their scale always weighs over the real weight. I wonder if that is deliberate. At least fedex inside the usa is going to be only about $40 instead of the package to Australia which was $235. And fedex international is way out of line price wise. Birgirs package was even higher priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nattonrice Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Yes the only place more expensive than Australia for everything seems to be Iceland. Artificially offset scales would not surprise me given how dodgy fedex is over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
