struts Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 Hokay, finished the boards. Remaining is: Here's a pic of the stuffed boards http://www.tech-enterprise.com/tekstuff/T2stuffedboards.JPG Beautifully neat looking work Craig, re-spect. How long did it take you? Quote
struts Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 lusting after knobs is perfectly fine around here... NTTIAWWT... I almost got a woody when I saw Kevin's telfon knob but thought it better to keep that to myself. However I see I'm in good company.. Quote
Voltron Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 Beautifully neat looking work Craig, re-spect. How long did it take you? Ditters. Impressive work Craig. Quote
Craig Sawyers Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 Beautifully neat looking work Craig, re-spect. How long did it take you? Thanks struts and voltron. I didn't keep a tally, but I guess it must have been ten hours for both boards, or maybe a little more, spread over three days. I don't have a flip over frame to help soldering, so I stuck a piece of carpet onto piece of plywood just larger than the big board with carpet spray glue. Used a lead bender to assist component preparation while the boards were propped on two transformers - then put the carpet gizmo on top and flipped it. Worked a treat. Quote
Inu Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 Hokay, finished the boards. Remaining is: 1. Japanese semiconductors - expected early next week Here's a pic of the stuffed boards http://www.tech-enterprise.com/tekstuff/T2stuffedboards.JPG Nice work! I hope your 2SC3381 have slim legs. Quote
nattonrice Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 Indeed~ You are definitely going to have a fun time doing them =) Quote
Craig Sawyers Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 Nice work! I hope your 2SC3381 have slim legs. Ok guys - what is the secret? I've just experimentally tried out a 2SJ109 and I failed fairly miserably to get it in the holes. Quote
swt61 Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 Ok guys - what is the secret? I've just experimentally tried out a 2SJ109 and I failed fairly miserably to get it in the holes. **** ENTER YOUR CHOICE OF DR. WOOD JOKE HERE **** Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 Ok guys - what is the secret? I've just experimentally tried out a 2SJ109 and I failed fairly miserably to get it in the holes.OH COME ON! Quote
kevin gilmore Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 Don't waste any 2sj109's. Not sure of the lead diamater on those, will measure when i get home. The 2sc3381's definitely fit, but are super tight. Which is why is reamed the holes a bit before shipping the boards. Quote

Craig Sawyers Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 Kevin - the pics of your build show a volume control extension shaft that looks insulating. Is there a particular reason that it should be? Reason is that I have stock of 1/4" aluminium(aluminum) rod. Quote
Dusty Chalk Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 I suspect it's because he experienced heat-conducting issues at Canjam. Quote
kevin gilmore Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) The delrin extension is what i had in stock. Aluminum works fine. The knob gets as hot as the rest of it. Its unlikely that people are going to listen to this thing 12 hours a day, and the anodizing is going to definitely get rid of the heat. On the original, the knob got very hot too. The 2sc3381's i have measure a diameter of .020 and i reamed the holes out to .0205 will go find some 2sj109's to measure. Edited June 24, 2010 by kevin gilmore Quote
spritzer Posted June 24, 2010 Author Report Posted June 24, 2010 I suggest picking up some shifts working at a local bakery before using the amp to get used to the massive amount of heat.... Quote
luvdunhill Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 The 2sc3381's i have measure a diameter of .020 and i reamed the holes out to .0205 will go find some 2sj109's to measure. I'm assuming that's the "major diameter"? I thought they had square pins... Quote
struts Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 will go find some 2sj109's to measure. Should be identical: 2SC3381, 2SJ109. Quote
digger945 Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 (edited) I'm assuming that's the "major diameter"? I thought they had square pins... The pins are square. I got .020 on the flats and between .0235 and .0240 from corner to corner. Regardless, they still fit(on my board anyway), all be it very very snug. I don't see any problem reaming the holes out, if needed, as long as one makes sure to properly solder both sides of each lead(both sides of the board.) Edited June 24, 2010 by digger945 Quote

Craig Sawyers Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 Powder Coating. Picasa Web Albums - inuponken - T2# That looks really sexy! I like the re-siting of the 3W power resistors to the non-component side of the board too. Quote
nattonrice Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 That's really nice! Are they prp up the back? Quote
kevin gilmore Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 Wow that came out great. Justin quality great. And slightly cheaper. Hey birgir, get your ass to the customs agent and pick up your package please. Then post some more pictures. Custom piece for Inu will be finished by next week. So will Birgirs one and only custom knob. Quote
swt61 Posted June 25, 2010 Report Posted June 25, 2010 That looks fantastic Inu! Can someone explain to an idiot about the TRS jack though? Quote
