@ Moby: Enjoy :)
@Rob: 12V 2A pulse (PWM or "digital") power supply.
Can you please give some more info about PSU. Some schematics maybe  :) Also, top silk of the PCB's will be welcome in vectors 1:1 so we can design box and frontpannels  ;) I know that Porusha has made fronts but I will like to make custom one and to add few more things (4 speakers selector)
 
Now I figured out  :-[ You are talking about computer PSU ! Something like this
Code:

Before ordering from Farnell, check your local electronics store.
Average cost of power supply like this should be $25-40.
Don't save bying very cheap chinese stuff.
Take into account, it connected to mains! :)
 
For measures etc, here's the drawings:

I suggest to buy cases from Purusha, we worked out excellent looking solution for great price.
 
Thanks Igor. Ok about PSU but pics with front panels are not in scale. Also, I'm not sure about screw holes on the PCB, thats why I asked silk in the vector format . Any wector can work, dwg, Ai, whatewer....I also sent you the mail with some more questions . Did you received?
 
Hey Igor,

I'm stuffing the boards for this project and need to check something with you.  Some of the supplied resistor values don't quite match the values printed on the boards.

For example I have 24k3 resistors and 24k6 spaces on the audio board.  I presume these resisitors are meant to go in that position?  Same thing with 2k62 resistors and 2k52 positions on the board.

Please can you confirm that the 'closest match' should go in each position?

What would be even better is if you have a BOM available which matches resistor value in the kit to resistor number printed on the boards.

Cheers dude :)

Hi Igor,

is Output 7-8 of the Speaker Out Sub-D a Record Feed, i.e. is that output just 1:1 mirroring whatever input is selected at the moment, without any level control? 

thanks

Yes, possible use is record or meter feed.
 
Hi Igor,

I believe that product code 85-2270 on this page

http://www.rapidonline.com/Electrical-Power/Power-Supplies/Open-DIN/Chassis-type-switch-mode-power-supplies/68073

will do the trick for a PSU won't it?

Cheers  :)
 
Thanks. What you think about something like this? http://il.farnell.com/projects-unlimited/aom-6738l-r/microphone-omni-leads-9-7mm/dp/1193005
 
Igor wouldyou mind having a quick look at Tats case thread - I was asking if one of your recommended psus would fit in his case?

thanks!

Igor, I started to stuff the boards and I miss few parts but it seems that I can find them locally. Nothing special , few resistors and diodes  ;) But I miss RN1 & RN2 too. I suppose they are resistors networks 4k7. I think that I can find that too locally but I'm not sure what I'm looking for exactly. Also, can you describe a story with photo resistor? I miss that too, but I see on the BOM's something about it's optional. I would like to have it so please let me know what value I'm looking for and do I have to miss some other resistor in that case?

Exactly. Just install 4k7 resistors here.

Photoresistor used as brightness controll for 7-seg display.

No brightness controll: use 3k3 (brighter).....8k2(dim) resistor at the place of R20, ommit photoresistor and R21.
For me, optimal value is 5k6.

If you want to use brightness controll option, install R20,21 and use photoresistor-
allmost everything will work here... Roff >100k, Ron 0.3...2k.

Actually you designed PCB for SIL resistor network? Am I right? I hope something like this will work (and look better  ;))

Clear  :)
Also, can you please describe function of the SW_DIP-3 on the audio board?
