Sweet Nate!

By the way, Gary - I might need a teensy bit of help from you to complete this project... :yes:

 

[Redboy]

I've done just a little soldering, already. Vampire Cu RCAs and solid silver ground bus.

Hey, I use that green wicking Loctite too. What's the deal with the selector switch, is that for source or volume taps? I'm looking for a supplier of top quality selector switches (shorting type). They also would need to ground the unused taps to prevent bleed-over. Bleed money huh? I go to petsmart and get ID tags and run them through their lazer dealy. I thought I was pretty cool until I noticed they said petsmart on them.

Always willing to help you out Nate. Heck you keep me in the cool stuff.

So, we have a TVC volume with phono stage going on hear?

 

[jaymanaa]

On second look, it's obviously volume. I somehow missed the transformers first look. Let's have a schematic mang, or is that dB audio proprietary info.

Not being a smart ass, but I think you missed one Nate.

These are Seiden switches, Jay. Ain't none better, hardly, and they make a bunch of different types.

Smartass!

That was intentional, actually. It'll be a solder point for ground, later.

 

[WhiteSE]

What....no illuminated volume knob???

That looks like a typical project of yours.....kick- ass!

 

[Redboy]

Thanks Jack!

But sorry... no blinkenlights in this project.

It's just going to be a basic passive TVC, Jay. Stevens and Billington TX-102 trafos, four inputs, two (parallel) outs.

 

[BillyBatts]

OK, now I'm jealous. No, not because it's fancy pants.

Great project. I need to get me one going soon, but it will have to wait until I return to Florida. No bench or equipment here in Hawaii.

Hey Nate! This looks awesome! you going to start selling some custom RedBoy gear? I'm still using my step up, love it. Take care

 

[Sasha18]

If I may ask, what is the ballpark cost of that front panel? I may try something out myself.

Hey Jeremy! Nice to "see" you! No, I'm not going into business or anything like that, but I do occasionally sell something I built when I am done with it. Gotta feed the habit, ya know?

If I may ask, what is the ballpark cost of that front panel? I may try something out myself.

My panels are about 3" x 8". Depending on options, price for something like that would start around $30 each at that size, and up. You can choose different thicknesses of material, different ano colors, engraving, drilling, milling, rounding, threading... You can see how the price would go up pretty quickly.

Very nice looking. Might as well make it as pretty as you can. Hammond boxes and all are fun, but sometimes a "commercial" look beats out a "DIY" look.

What does the rest of the case look like?

retro fit

Nate,
Will Redboy Audio be offering retro fit name plates for previously constructed gear?

Thanks,
Andy

Ummmm...

Ummmm... aranoid:

Ha! That'll teach you to go postin' your fancy faceplates around here.

I like the logo a lot, Nate. Understated and smart.

Looks great!
