Finally got around to posting these pics.

Thanks to Jakob for sharing the plans, Frank for the frontpanel and Gustav for the PCB's !

The units sound Great! I wish I had a real EQP-1A to compare.

frequencies are not exact (gyraf layout/pultec front panel), but what the hell it sounds good. ;)

[quote author="quadwould"]2 real beauties there. very nice and neat work.

where did you source the knobs from?

:thumb:[/quote]


Big round Dakaware knobs were from C&H in Pasadena ,CA thanks to a tip from NACHO.

flat pointer knobs were ordered from COSMO Corp. P/N 38-7626-010-00-3-10 "military style selector knobs" with white paint fill., but you have to let them know you are a buisiness and ordering a minimum of $50.00 or so as samples. John Parker helped me he was very nice. 440-498-7500




Is that a Radio Shack heatsink in there?

Yep, proud to admit that is the only part in there from the rat shack.



FPD. files from Frank were sent to front panel express. Without "White" Fill , but it looks like it is colored white even though I did not select it. $50.00 to get engraved.


Tubes are: JJ-Tesla

Trafo: Lundahl

Inductors: TOKO

Pots: Bourns

Switches: Lorlin

Errrrr.....cool!

What is the deal on the Toko?
Was that from the inductor shootout and whats the name of that thread?
I need an inductoir change.

I think Some of the TOKO inductors have been discontinued by mouser etc. , but some mentioned "FASTRON" as the same inductor but possibly rebranded?

I am pretty sure that WILCO inductors won the shootout. I cannot find that page.
