Order placed! If you can get the small knobs that would be great.

Thanks

Steve

Echo North · Aug 8, 2008

Got your order!

I'll place an order for small knobs (and more large knobs) on Monday. Should have them in about 3 weeks.

I'll keep you posted.

Mike

Order also placed. :green:

If I could get 4 of the small knobs, that would be great, as well.

Thanks,
Chris

Echo North · Aug 9, 2008

Thanks!

Only 6 larges knobs left.

I should be stocked with Large and Smalls in about 3 weeks.

Echo North · Aug 9, 2008

Sure!

Let me get the price on Monday, then I'll put up the pre order.

Anyone who is interested in small knobs send me an email to [email protected] so I can get an idea of how many to order.

hey,

Like the site.

I would love to order:
6 small knobs
6 big knobs
6 push button banks
and 3 of those ratio boards (if they fit the banks you have)

should i order thought here or via your site?

Echo North · Aug 9, 2008

Yes all orders should be placed through the site.

<b>Knobs and Push Button Banks are now SOLD OUT.</b>

Thank you everyone!

I should have more knobs in about 3 weeks.

Push Button banks take longer....about 8-10 weeks.

I'll get them in as soon as I can.

Thanks again,

Mike

Hi,

I just paypaled for 4 big knobs :thumb: but I had to give some US state
as it would not let me through... I will email you my address in Europe...

BTW, is there any cheaper shipping option than 23$ to send these to Europe?
I may add also 2 small knobs to my order if you get them next month.

Thanks!

Echo North · Aug 9, 2008

Hi Pususha,

Yeah the international shipping is a little problematic right now.

I'm hope to upgrade my store software soon, and it should give me more options.

The problem is that recently I shipped 15 small knobs to Italy and they never got to their destination. I sent them airmail ($11) and there was no way to track what happened to them. I had to eat the cost.

The best solution I could easily come up with was $23 priority flat rate worldwide shipping. It usually takes 5 days (plus customs processing) and can be tracked. Not a bad deal compared to UPS or FEDEX.

It'll be a few weeks till your knobs are in stock so I should be able to work out something a little better in the mean time...I'll keep you posted.

Mike

PS - if some one runs a store in the USA and ships international I would be happy to get some advice

Do the pushbuttons/meter boards and ratio boards... can these be used with the Mnats 1176 Rev D? I mean do they just replace the rotary switch meter/ratio boards?

Also, does anyone have a template with all the relative dimensions for a faceplate with pushbuttons?

Echo North · Aug 11, 2008

Frank has a FPE template here:
http://www.nrgrecording.de/html/schaeffer.html

If you download front panel designer from their site you can see the measurements.

Yes they can be used with one difference on the meter side. I believe the Mnats D (like the J) boards are set up for "off/+4/bypass/GR". My boards are like the original 1176 "off/+4/+8/GR". So the wiring on that side is a little different. The boards ship with instructions to hook them up on the Mnats J boards. I will check and update it for D as well, should be very straight forward though.

I have my bypass on the attack knob like the original. You can do this with a 25K SPDT pot (mouser: 315-2415F-25K). You could also just add a regular bypass toggle switch to the front panel.

It was easy to do. If anyone is interested in the detailed wiring I can draw something up.

Thanks guys,

Mike

PS: I hope to have the pre-order for the small knobs up by wednesday at the latest. I'll let you all know when it happens.

marshman · Aug 11, 2008

PP'd for 2 switches and two switch boards.

Thanks!

mm

Echo North · Aug 11, 2008

Thanks!

New knobs are on the way! Should have them by 09/01 at the latest.

Small knobs will be around $5. When I get home tonight I will put them up for pre-order.

Switch banks will be a little longer (8-12 weeks). I should know more soon.

Thanks again guys,

Mike

PS - Please feel free to email me at [email protected] with suggestions for new products. One thing I know I would like to offer is the 1176 input attenuator.

I'd be interested! :green:

Echo North · Aug 11, 2008

Cool,

I am also going to do up a diagram that will allow you to hook up the meter boards with a bypass.

So the stock board is:
OFF/+4/+8/GR

And with a cut and a direct solder you can set it up:
OFF/GR Disable/+4/GR

Echo North · Aug 11, 2008

Update!

Small knobs can be pre-ordered!

See first post.
